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 aod five, and why that not one in every thousand live to three score years? We kill ouraelvea. Many interesting particulars are found in tables of physiologists and writers on hygiene. The eminent physiologists, Haller and fiuffon,; present interesting particulars on the subject of longevity. They, treat it in two ways, historical and phyaical. The. historical side of the recitation of aU facts tnown 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 approach- : ing calamity are unheeded, the disroganisation 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 dis- . ; ease. 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 warn- ; ing aohea and pains as they were unnoticed : when sent. The debility and weakness in- < creases, however, and nervousness, loss of appetite and general larigour comes on and : acoldiscaught inthekidneys, lungsorliver, : and another life is sacrificed to Bright'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 most prejudiced men ; know it is genuine and does possess merits no other medicine ever did, as instanced in the following case : — " For the 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 even walk about. I suffered in this way until it became quite unbearable, and in February, 1889, T consulted a physician, who treated me for seventeen months, and during that time I suffered the severest torture under his treatment, and instead of improving continued to get worse. He said at last, 'I have done all I can and you will never be better.' This drove me to despair and I went under another doctor's treatment for four months and took about 30 bottles of medicine but with no result. I was giving up all hopes when I read of the wonderful cures effected by Clements : 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 16 bottles and feel as well and strong as ever and can do mj work with ease and pleasure, whereas it was a great trouble before using Clements Tonic. I can now also walk for miles without fatieue. Before taking this medicine I have often snffered with Neuralgia for weeks at a time and could never get any relief, but since taking ■ Clements Tonic I have never had an attaok of it since. As a result of my ex- ' perience I have much pleasure in recommending it to all afflicted. Mrs 8. E. Baker Swan street, Morpeth, N.S.W."
