CHEATING THE CORONER.
HOW THEY DO IT IN PARRAMATTA. We frequently hear of doctors, chemists and undertakers being banded together to provide victims for the latter to practice the rites of his profession upoD, and probably circumstances arise that give some colour to the saying. The lat3st case is that of Mrs Kellett, a lady well known in Parramatta. She had long been looked upon as a fit subject for the coroner to ‘sit upon,’ she moped about, was melancholy, suffered acute pain, and was I always, what Is technically termed, ‘down in the dumps.’ She writes the following account of her singular experience : Four years ago I caught a severe cold which settled in my head and chest, and caused an incessant cough and copious discharge of phlegm ; this brought on great 1 weakness and debility. After considerable attention and doctor’s treatment the cough was relieved, and finally cured, but the debility remained and seemed to defy the skill of the medical men and the power of medicine. I had no appetite, and could scarcely eat a particle of food, and was almost reduced to a skeleton, having entirely wasted away. I had taken pints of cod-liver oil, malt extracts, and other medicines without relief, when I was recommended to take Clements’ Tonic. I procured a bottle, and am thankful to say that I immediately began to improve; I could eat better, and relish and digest what I did eat. I gained flesh every day, and my strength rapidly returned, and after six week’s treatment with Clements’ Tonic, I felt a new woman altogether, I took Clements’ Tonic six months ago, and have never had any sickness since, and am only too glad to add my name to your list of grateful sufferers. We often hear of such oases and we never hear of cases Clements Tonic won’t cure. It contains the material in a scientific combination that renders it the best, safest, most reliable and only effectual remedy for all symptoms of ansemia, which is only the commencement and cause of almost all disease in this country. Anaemia is the beginning of decay and needs vigorous treatment, and if neglected will so undermine the system that it becomes susceptible to an attack of any disease to which the patient may be liable. If you want to get on as Mrs Kellett did, and ke’ep out of the coroner’s and undertakers’ hands follow suit to her lead, take Clements’ Tonic, it will cure you as it has cured others. Beware of imitations, which are prepared only for the sake of the vendors’ extra profit, and not for your welfare ; and remember that the man who would take yonr money for a base counterfeit of the genuine article, is worse than the thief who picks yonr pocket, for he not only rifles that pocket but he trifles with your health, if not yonr life ; any man who offers a substitute is dishonest, so never let him get another penny of your money. You may consider this boasting, bat it is not, so you are wrong; we speak this emphatically, because we know we are talking facts. Send your name and address and we will prove the value of Clements’ Tonic by outside evidence which cannot be disputed. F, M, CLEMENTS, Newtown, N.S.W.
