What long strides in physical progress would be made if one was reared with reference to giving his body the best care possible ! As it is, many a man spends more vital force in digesting his 6 o'clock dinner than he does in attention to his business, and many a woman spends more nerve, vigour, and strength in contending against the bad condition imposed by unhygienic fashions than she spends in any useful walk in life. If she would only contend against them with reference to free herself from their bondage it would be to some purpose. Nature is inexorable, and any violation of her laws, whether done in wilfulness or ignorance, will surely meet with punishment. The laws which govern digestion are just as stern as those of gravitation. If a person does not suffer immediately from abusing his stomach, there will be a cutting off of the digestive faculties later in life. The stomach, liver, heart, lungs, and kidneys are the organs most likely to give out, for they are the ones most subject to abuse, particularly the first two. Then headaches make their presence felt; a pain is experienced in the chest, back, or side, with a continual bearing down in the lower part of the loins ; constipation ensues, and defecation cannot be obtained without the use of violent purgatives; the water becomes discoloured, and burns when passing, and is frequently oily, muddy, or thick. Indigestion also sets in, and the food instead of bein<* properly digested and assimilated is merely passed through the alimentary canal at the patient's sole risk. Natures laws must be obeyed, or the greatest danger is inevitable. Where any unusual sensations, pains, or aches are experienced it is proof positive that something is wrong; and as the tendency after manhood is always towards decay, prompt measures must be adopted to resuscitate the diseased organs, and we can honestly recommend patients to use Clements Tonic. This is a genuine article. We wish there were more patent medicines on the market of similar value: it would be well for the world at lanre. Clements Tonic is honestly what it professes to be, a scientific antidote to the causes of diseases, of debility, impaired vitality or weakness of any kind. You can call disease by what name you like, if it springs from debilitation of any kind Clements Tonic is the proper and only reliable remedy. Neuralgia is one of the first and most reliable symptoms of approaching physical decay, and Mr. A. J. Scott, Daily Telegraph office, Launceston, Tasmania, gives his endorsement thus: —"Sir,— justice to you, and in the interests of similar sufferers, I write this in the hope that many in trouble may be induced to try Clements Tonic, also that the sale of such a genuine article may be increased. My wife was a dreadful sufferer from neuralgia for over twelve months, she had all kinds of remedies without the slightest benefit, but after seeing Clements Tonic advertised in the local papers for some j time, I procured a bottle, and she found considerable benefit in two days—in fact, felt better after the first few doses ; she continued Clements Tonic until one and a-half bottles were taken, and now, I am thankful to say, she is perfectly well and has had no return of the pain, and we have great hopes that the cure will prove permanent. You may use this unsolicited testimonial us you may think best, and I will only be too happy to give fuller particulars at the above address." Otto Fischer, Esq., President Association Graphic Arts, Sydney, writes under date January 23,1891 Saber-street, Woollahra, N.S.W. Dear Sir,—Walking up and down my verandah in the agonies of neuralgia, a sympathising neighbour told me how her mother was cured, after years of suffering and no end of expense in medical treatment, by Clements Tonic. Though no believer in patent medicines, the increasing pain got the better of my prejudice, and I think it only my duty for the; relief the first bottle gave me. Clements Tonic has done me good, and I shall take good care never to be without it, and heartily recommend it to suffering humanity." Such letters as these must satisfy the most unbelieving; the only point is that sufferers must be careful to get the genuine Clements Tonic. No other will do. Laboratories, N.S.W. j
