THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.

The influena is raging again this year with unprecedented deadliness. The paralysing influences of this terrible malady have assumed the alarming dimensions of a plague. The distempter is of a powerfully destructive character, and shatters its victims Avith fearful suddenness. The severity of the visitation eclipes all previous attacks. The medical faculty fails to account for the outbreak, and is powerless to control its spread. Doctors, Nurses, and hospitals are doing everyting possible for sufferers, but are overwhelmed by the multitude crying bitterly for relief. A dispatch from one town states that 300 people died in one day, this was about the daily average, and the streets were crowded with vehicles carrying the dead to their last resting place ; and the sad vacancy of death depressed every household. Such trying times as these demand immediate attention. The doctors fail, and the many advertised cough and cold cures are only sedatives which interfere Avith the the proper secretions of the respiratory tract. Recourse must be had to a genuine stimulating restorative, which, whilst curing his grip, Avill also strengthen and support the patient, and no article the world has so far seen can compare to Clements Tonic for these effects. During the great outbreak of influenza in Sydney in 1890, over 50,000 bottles of Clements Tonic were consumed, and its praises were sung in every quarter as the disease was completely stamped out by the use of this remedy in four weeks. Such facts as this prove beyond the doubt of the most unbelieving sceptic, the value of Clements Tonic for such diseases. Mrs M. Kellett, Parramatta, N.S.W., writes; —“Sir, Four years ago I caught a severe cold which settled in my head and chest, and caused an incessant coughs and copious discharge of phlegm; this brought on great Aveakness ad debility. After considerable attention and doctors’ 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, Avhen I Avas 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 Avhat I did eat. I gained flesh every day, and my strength rapidly returned, and after six weeks 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.” Remember you must get the geninue “ Clements Tonic” sold by chemists, grocers, and storekeepers, everywhere.
