DAMAGED MEN.

You can see any day, in the streets of any city, men who look damaged—men, too, of good original material, who started out in life with generous aspirations. Once it was said that they were bright, promising lads ; once they looked happily into the faces of mothers whose daily breath was a prayer for their purity and peace. Going to the bad ! the spell of evil companionship; the willingness to hold and use money not honestly gained; the stealthy, seductive, plausible advance of the appetite for strong drink the treacherous fascination for the gambling table ; the gradual loss of interest in business and in things which build a man up ; the rapid weakening of the whole body; a depletion of the general strength and vitality; the struggle for existence and the worry and turmoil of life breaks up the vital strength and hurries many a man into an untimely grave. First symptoms are numerous, headaches, nervousness, failure of appetite and indigestion, and various other signs. All are forerunners of some impending serious physical complication. Recourse had to a rational medicament such as Clements Tonic always removes all signs ot disease, restores the action of every impaired organ, increases the appetite and aids digestion, thus ensuring a healthy organism and granting the afflicted a new lease of life. " For several years I have been'steadily declining in health, suffering from nervous prostratien, dizziness and unnatural expectoration, flushed face after meals, sleepless nights and headache, as if a great weicrht was over ray head. The action of the kidneys was defective, and I often severely from the swelling of the legs, a circumstance from which very serious consequences were apprehended. I retired recently from the proprietorship of the Albion Hotel, Bourke-street, Melbourne, owing to my ill-health, and hoped that complete rest would effect a material change for the better, and that I would be able to spend my declining years with more comfort; but ( my health was not benefited in the least until I Clements Tonic was brought under my notice. A short course so improved my coni dition that it suppressed all nervousness, ! subdued all my pain, greatly increased the j flow of urine; and I consider Clements Tonic ;4 a remedy without a rival.' — Geokge !
