Is It Suicide ?
Mark Twain tells the story that at the inquest held on the body of Buck Fanshaw—who during the delirium of a raging typhoid fever had taken arsenic, shot himself through the body, cut his throat, and jumped out of a four-story window, breaking his neck—the jury, after due deliberation, sad and tearful, but with intelligence unbiinded by its sorrow, brought in a verdict of ** death by visitation of God.”
Buck undoubtedly committed suicide, and so does everyone that neglects the first symptoms of approaching sickness and disease, Nature always gives ample notice of any disturbance of physical processes j sometimes it is neuralgia, sometimes a sharp shooting pain in th© abdomen or side, or a dull oi’ throbbing headache ; no two persons get the same symptoms* What you have to do is to attack the first symptoms, for if consumption, dropsy, cancer, or Bright’s disease once gets a start, you cannot stop its headlong course to the grave. These are facts there is no disputing, for all the medical skill in the world cannot do much for you when rpsl organic disease has set in,
We emphatically recommend Clements’ Tonic because we know by personal experience and by the evidence of influential and reliable people who have used it that it will do good and prevent disease. Clements’ Tonic is a medicine that invigorates and strengthens the entire corporal organism ; it does not only affect certain members but strengthens the whole system, thus prevent ing the attacks of diseasd.

D. Wood (Verger of All Saintg Cathedral, Bathurst), writes : “ That he found Clements’ Tonic a grand pick-me-up and it completely cured him of low spirits, indigestion, giddiness, and humming noises in the ears.” Mr G. Swan, Junee Junction, who suffered from debility, cardiac weakness and nervousness, following on typhoid, took Clements’ Tonic and sa\s, “That after taking C or 7 bottles his health was fully restored, and that be can now eat anything and do any reasonable amount of work, whereas before taking Clements’ Tonic be could do none at all.” Clements’ Tonig can be obtained from all medicine dealers or from F.
