THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC. Tllß influenza is ras;inß r.i?nin this year ; .with ucprocodcated dcadliuesH. Thepara1 lisin-j; iimluoaceß oK this terrible malady havo nßßtuned the alarmiagf dimensions of &ipliigue. The distemper is QiJ.a power- , folly destructive character, and shatters .its victims with fearfnl suddenness. The aeverity of tbo viaitr%tion eclipses all previous nttftoks. Tho raedioal faculty "fails to account for the outbreak, and is powerless to control its spread. Doctors, nurses, and hospitals are doing everything "■ *. possible for sufferers, but are overwhelmed , by tho multitude crjiog bitterly for relief. A dispatch from one town states that 300 , peop'e.died .in one day, this was about tho 1 .daily average, and-tbe-streets were crowded w.ith vehi^es carrying ;he.dead to their last '" rdflting "plnce ;" and tho sadvuqancy; depressed eviry lionaohold. Such tr\in» times as these demand ', Viumiodjatia altohtioa. The doctors fail, and the many advertised cough and cold ouroa are , only sedatives which interfere „ t witn the proper secretions of the respiratory tract. Recourse must be bad to a genuine stimulating restorative, which, whilst curing hia grip, will also strengthen and euppurt the patient, nnd no article the world hns so far seen can compare to Clements' Tonic for these effects. During Iho great outbreak of influenza in Sydney in 1800,-over 5C,000 bottles of Clements' Tonic were consumed, and its praises, were Rang in every quarter as tho disease was co tuple tek stamped oat by the use of this 1 remedy in four weeks. Saoh facts as this prove beyond tbo doubt of tha most unboHoving aoeptic, tho value of Cloineuts' ', Tonic for such diseases. Mrs AI. Kellott, I'nrrtuuattu, N.SW., writes: — "Sir, — Four yoars ago,! caught a. severe cold which settled in my head and cheat, .and caused Nan incessant cough,,^nad copious discharge or! phlegm ; this brought on great weakness and debility. A^ter- considerable attention arid doctors' treatuiont, the, cough waa rblioved nad finally cured, but the debility remained , aod Beemed to dofy tho skill of medical men and tbo power of medicines, I had no ' appetite, nnd could scarcely eat a particle of food, and wi»s almost reduced to a skeleton, having entirely wasted away, I had taken pints of cod-liver oil, malt y"|e£t|ajctß, and other medicines without relief, whan I, was recommeaded to take Clemants 1 Tonic. I procured a bottle, and am thankful to say that I immediately began to improve ; I could eat better, and relish and digest what I did eat. I gained flesh every dßy, and my strength rapidly returned, and after six week's treatment with Clements Tonic, I felt a new wotiian • altogclhor. I took Clements' Tonic six months ago, and have never had any sick1 ness since, and ntn only 100 glad to add my name to your list of grateful sufferers."
