Damaged Men

You can see any day, in the streets 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 were bright promising lads ; once they looked happily 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 ahd use money not honestly gained ; the stealthy, seductive, plausible advance of the appetite for stroDg drink ; the treacherous fascination of the gambling table ;. the gradual loss of interest in business and in things which build a man up ; the rapid weakening of the whole body ; a depletion of the geueral strength and vitality; the siruggle for existence and the worry and turmoil of life breaks up the vital strength and hurries many a man into an untimely grave. Eirst symptoms are numerous, headaches, nervousness, failure of appetite and indigestion, and various other signs. All are fore runners of some impending serious physical complication. Recourse bad to a rational medicament such as Clement's Tonic 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 headaohe, as if a great weight was over my head. The aotion of the kidneys was detective, and I often suffered severely from the swelling of the legs, a circumstance from which very serious consequences were ap. prehended. I retired recently from the proprietorship . of the Albion Hotei, Bourke-street, Melbourne, owing to my illhealth, 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 benefited in the least until Clement's, Tonic was brought under my notice. A /short course so improved my condition that it suppressed all nervousness, subdued ail my pain, greatly increased the flow of urine; aud I consider Clements Tonic ' a remedy without .a. rival.'
