AN UNSCRUPULOUS FOE
Creeps upon us unawares like an assassiir;in the dark and whose dangerous proximity we never suspect until it makes the last fatal clutch on some vital organ. We are always warned in ample time of the impending danger, but with criminal carelessness neglect these warnings: that tired feeling, those aching limbs, and that grand feeling one day and seedy condition the next, the sour taste on waking in a morning, and the frequent sick and splitting headaches, all make their debut before serious illness sets in. All oc any of these symptoms iudicate the approach of disease, they are faitliful signs that the liver and kidneys are not doing their duties, that the morbid and effete matter, instead of being eliminated from the system, is being retained, and is positively poisoning and destroying the whole physical structure. Neglect in such cases is criminal, recourse to rational treatment should be had at once, Clements ToNicshouldbetakento strengthen the digestion, purify and fortify the blood, to stimulate the liver and brace up the kidneys, to resolve and eliminate the poisonous urea. Liver and kidney complaints ire the most prevalent diseases of this country, and so long as we consume such large quantities of animal food and condiments, and drink so freely of tea and stimulants, so long will this unhealthy condition last. It is this mode of life that causes such numbers of deaths from heart disease, Bright's disease, dropsy, cancer, inflammation and enlargement or the liver, and similar causes, all of which herald their approach by feelings of lassitude, headache, languor, &c, and if prompt treatment at once is adopted by a regular use of Clements. Tonic, the progress of ctisease is arrested, the stomach, liver, and kidneys resume their normal action and the poisonous accumulations are expelled the system and normal health is restored. That Clements Tonic ia reliable is proved beyond all question- and we have grateful beneficiaries in every town-and village who are continually writing us in terms similar to the following:— St. Leonard's, Sydney. Dear Sir, — can with pleasure bear witness to the great relief I have received from the use of Clements Tonic and Dr. Fletcher's Pills. I have been a great sufferer for 11 years from liver disease, with at times considerable enlargement, which caused a swelling in the side under the ribs and was very painful, the abdomen, bowels, &c, always felt very tender on pressure, with most obstinate constipatieo* for which I took Fletcher's Pills. The first dose caused a copious evacuation and gave great relief, and I thought I was all right, but after a week I was as bad again as before. I again had recourse to Fletcher's Pills, but I took Clements Tonic as well this time and continued it for a couple of months. 'After the first dose I felt better and got rid of all the symptoms I used to have, as flushings of heat and cold, splitting heaaches, pains in the side and small of the back, extreme lassitude, and the general feeling of * all-right to-day, seedy to-morrow,' all these symptoms with many others I used to have, but now, thanks to Clements Tonic, lam quite cured. I can get up in a morning refreshed by the nights rest and can eat a good breakfast, whereas before taking the medicine I scarcely ever could eat anything, and when I did it nearly always made me vomit, but now I am quite well and have been so for five months. I have no cause t;# fear a relapse. I don't mind your publishing my case if you add nothing to it, as it may bring relief to similar sufferers.— Yours very truly, H. Garkell."
