INDIGESTION
may be the result of a variety of causes, debility -of the digestive tract, over mental work, nervous prostration, excessive smoking, tea, or spirit drinking. At any rate, no matter "what the cause, the only treatment of any permanent benefit is a-« restorative treatment, the remedy must possess tonic,, invigorating and strengthening properties. This is not the case with any of the many purging mixtures sold as dyspepsia panaceas, and this is proved by then: makers stating that the dose must be increased until the desired effect is attained. This is due to the nostrum being a cathartic, and by continued use the stomach, liver, and bowels become educated to the action of the medicine, and it gradually loses all effect. Clements Tonic is quite distinct in its action, it assists digestion, promotes the 'flow of gastric and pancreatic fluids, increases the secretion of bile ,and thus assists the bowels to throw off the waste matter ; it strengthens the nerves, forms bone, muscle and nerve tissue, and increases the appetite. Clements Tonic is a natural restorative of a debilitated system. Bead the case of Mr B. Beacham, Parnell, Auckland, N.Z., who writes on November 6th, 1593 : — Sir, — About seven months ago I got hurt by lifting a bag of corn, which brought on two abscesses, one on the groin and the other on the knee, I was laid up for four months and under the doctor for i long time ; this affected my general health and made me weak, with a very poor appetite. I was persuaded to try Clements Tonic, and I am glad to say that I did so, for I have proved its curative effects. There is no mistake about Clements Tonic for imparting strength and giving tone and vigour to the appetite. I took four bottles in all, and they completely set me up and put me in good health again. You can make use of this as you think proper. — Yours respectfully, B. Beacham, Auckland, N.Z.
