"Why is it that death should come before the allotted age of " threescore and ten," and why so many millions of human beings never live to threescore and five, and why that not one in every thousand live to threescore years? We kill ourselves. Many interesting particulars are found in tables of physiologists and writers on hygiene. The eminent physiologists, Haller and Buffon, present interesting particulars on the subject of longevity. They treat it in two ways, historical and physical. The historical side of the recitation of all facts known of the naturally ordinary and extreme duration of life, and the pbysioal aspect of the problem involves the contemplation of the great natural Shases of development of the speoies, igestion, period of growth, and length of life. Mankind pays too little attention to the warning voice of nature; signs of approaohing calamity are unheeded; the disorganisation of the affected organ increases and after a time becomes inBsnsible; then no pain is lelt, and the sufferer is deluded into the belief that he has . shaken off the disease. Nothing could be more erroneous or dangerous, for the complaint has only passed on one farther stage towards the end, and nature ceases to Bend those warnings aches and pains as they were unnoticed when sent; the debility and weakness increases however, and nervousness, loss of appetite, and general langour comes on, and a Gold is caught in the kidneys, lungs, or liver, and another life is sacrificed to Bright's disease, consumption, or some other serious and fatal disease. Scoffers oan talk as they like at the virtues claimed for Clements Tonic, but even the most prejudiced- men know it is genuine and does possess merits no other medicine ever did, as instance in the case of John Ellis, Esq., Invercargill, N.Z., who writes: — I have great- pleasure in saying that Clements Tonio has done me a great deal of good. While staying in Tasmania Eome time previously, I suffered from weaknesy and general debility, headaches in the morning, and very dull eyes. I was advised to try Clements Tonic, which I did, and can safely say that it cured me and made me fit for business again. I am always happy to advi3e others to try Clements Tonic —I am, yours truly, John Ellis, Baggott's Hotel, Dee-street, Invercargiil, N.Z.
