DAMAGED MEN.
You can see any day, in the slreols 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 wero bright, promising lads ; once they looked happilv 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 fasoination of thbgmnblirg table ; the gradual loss of interest in business f.nd 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, hendachos, nervousness, failure of appetite and indigestion, and various other signs. All the forerunners of some impending serious physical complication. Recourse bad to a rational medicant such as Clements Tonio always removes all signs of 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 prostration, dizziness, and unnatural expectoration, flushed face after meals, sleepless nights and headache, as if a great weight was over my head. The action of the kidneys was defective, and I often suffered severely from the swelling of the legs a circumstance from wbish very serious consequences were apprehended. I retired reecently 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 benefitted in the leaßt until Clements Tonio was brought under my notice. A short course so improv d my condition that it suppressed all nervousness, subdued all my pain greatly increased the flow of urine; and I consider Clements Tonic " a remedy without ft rival."'
