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, ana why that not one in every thousand live to three score years ? "We kill ourselves. Many interesting particulars are found in tables of physiologists and writers on hygiene. The eminent physiologists, Haller and Buffou, 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 disorganization 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 has 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 unnoticed when sent. The debility and weakness increases, however, and nervousness, loss of appetite, and general lanquor, comes on, and a cold is c-iught in the kidneys, lunga* or liver, and another life is sacrificed to Blight'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 moat prejudiced men know it is genuine and does possess merits no other medicine ever did, as instanced in the following case: —" Forjthe 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 eveu walk about. I suffered in this way until it became quite unbearable, and in February, 18b9, I cousulted a physician who treated me for seventeen mouths, and during that time I suffered the severest torturo under hi* treatment, and, instead of improving, : contiuued to get worse. He said at last, 'I have done all I can and you will never bo better.' This drove me to despair and I went under another doctor's treatment for four months and took about thirty bottles of medicine, but with no result. I was giving up all hopes when I read of the wonderful cures effected by ClemeTits' 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 fifteen bottles and feel as well and strong 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 without fatigue. Before taking this medicine I have often suffered with neuralgia for weeks at a ; time, and could never get any relief, but since taking Clements' Tonic I have never had an attack of it since. As a - result of my experience I have much i pleasure in recommending it to all < afflicted. Mrs S. E. Baker, Swan Btreet, i Morpeth, N.S.W."
