WHY IS IT?

Why is it that death should come before the allotted age of ‘ three score and ten,’ and why so many millions of human beings never live to three score and five, and why that not one in every thousand live to three score years 1 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 physical aspect of the problem involves the contemplation of the great natural phases of development of the species, digestion, period of growth, and length of life.

Mankind pays too little attention to the warning voice of nature signs of approaching calamity are unheeded, the disorganisation of the affected organ increases and after a time becomes insensible ; then no pain is felt and the sufferer is deluded into the belief that he Jias shaken off the disease. Nothing could be more erroneous or dangerous, for the complaint has only passed on one further stage towards the end, and nature ceases to send those warning aches and pains, as they were unheeded when sent. The debility and weakness increases, however, and nervousness, loss of appetite, and general langour comes on, and a cold 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 can 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 instanced in the following case ‘ For the past four years I have been a great sufferer from severe pains in the back and left side, being at times quite unable to do any work or even work or even walk abort I suffered in this way nntil it became quite unbearable, and in February, 1889,1 consulted a physician, who treated me for seventeen months , and during that time I suffered the severest torture under his treatment and instead of improving continued to got worse, he said at last: • I have done all I can and yon will never be better.” This drove me to dispair, and I went under another doctor’s treatment for four months and took about thirty bottles of medicine, but without result. I was giving up up all hopes when I read of the wonderful cures effected by Clements’ Tonic, and on my husband’s advice I tried it, and after the use of only three bottles I was quite a different woman. I have taken 15 bottles, and feel as well and stroug as ever and can do my work with ease and pleasure, whereas it was a great trouble before using Clements’ Tonic. I can now also walk for miles with ont fatigue. Before taking this medicine, I have often suffered with neuralgia for weeks at a time and eould never get any relief, but since taking Clements’ Tonic I have never had an attack of it. As a result of my experience I have much pleasure in recommending it to all afflicted. Mrs S. E. Baker, Swan-street, Morpeth, N.S.W.’ Reader: — Is it any wonder interested people should be jealous of Clements’ Tonic when its patrons write such spontaneous praise as that ? Yet there is not a mail-bag comes out our way but what brings U 3 similar letters. F. M. Clemente, 212, a’Beckett-stfeet, Melbourne,
