IS WAR DEADLY?

“ Can anyone answer that! It's doubtful, very doubfol.” War may not be healthy or conclusive to longevity, especially for the front rank of the participants in the frolicsome pastime. We read id the big book bow the reporters brought home records of hundreds of thousands slain in a single battle ; but now, with all our modern deadly weapons, smokeless powder and noiseless guns, we fall far abort of the numbers slain in scriptural history days. We, however, make np for deficiency in this respect by slaugteriog thousands and hundreds of thousands by living an artificial life. We constantly struggle to live and obtain wealth, we cultivate a special form of live to induce disease, we drink alcohol and other stimulants, and thus live in a continual condition of nervous excitement. This enervates the whole system but so slowly and insidiously that we never suspect the danger till some fatal disease attacks some vital organ, and then the patient runs panic-stricken, first to one doctor then to another in the agony of despair. People should be wise in their generation, and beware of the approach of the enemy, and ward off his initial attack. Remember that a continual languid feeling, and sharp attacks of neuralgia at night, with frequent or occasional headaches, or aching limbs, sleeplessness, hot burning urine, with constipation and loss of appetite, are each and severally signs sent by Nature to warn you of the physicial disturbance, that you must not neglect such symptoms, or your case may get beyond the power of medicine to cure. To (nro aside the disease, and render the eystem impregnate to its ravages, a faithful and regular treatment with piements Tonic is essential. This remedy never can fail to restore healthy and normal action to every organ, as it treats the disease and not the symptoms. We received from Alfred Godfrey, Esq., Solicitor, 391 Darling street, Bulnruio, the following letter : “ Jan. 19th,’91. Dear Sir,—lt affords ma much pleasure to recommend Clements Tooic to all persons whose systems require bracing up. I have found it highly beneficial. 1 don’t thick it’s equal can be found,” A>so the following proof from Mis. G. Wallis, 66 Ivyst., N.S. W., Redfero “Dear Sir,—Having suffered for nearly two years from sciatica, and being unable to obtain relief from doctors, I was induced to Clements’ Tonic. I had smell hopes of relief ; but one large and part of a small bottleeompletely cured me, and that is now eight months since. The pain first struck my left side, extending to the back and dawn the leg below the knee. At times the pain was so severe that I could not rest day or night. I became so very thin and weak that my neighbours chaff-td me and said that there would soon be a funeral ; but, thanks to C ements’ Tonic, I am completely cored. My daughter also suffered from toothache and pains across the eyes. She used Clements Tonic, and is completely well ever since. I have also recommended it to many people, all of whom praise it highly, and you may use this as you like, and I shall beonly too pleased to answer unyenquiries, trusting that I may bring relief to other sufferers.” These are the kind of letters we are continually receiving by every mail. We only warn the public to be careful about getting the genuine. There are imitations in every chemist’s shop. See the signature of F. Moore Clements on the wrappers and labels of every bottle and expose the swindlers who try and put you off with an imitation.—Laboratories, Newtown, N.S.W.
