"BREAKERS AHEAD!"
That cry has brought terror to many a stout heart. A shipwreck is a frightful experience, to hear the wind whistle., the timber creak and crash, the cordage strain, the s-nlora swear and the women scream, tremble and run hither and thither like maniacs, is enough to appal the bravest heart. Yet with all its terrors death by shipwreck is not half so terrible as the slow and insidious course of disease, which for the latter years of the stricken one's life, makes existence a misery, not only to the victim but to all around him. With such terrible facts staring us in the face, how careful we should be to preserve that blessing of providence- healtha.n& strength. Note should be taken of the first signs of disease. A simple headache is an infallible sign that the liver and stomach are disordered ; frequent toothache and neuralgia indicate infallibly that the nervous aysiem is becoming enervated ; that tired feeling is proof positive that strength is failing. There are hundreds of such symptoms which should have immediate treatment. Clbmbnts Tonic fortifies the blood and builds up nerve tissue ; it is the greatest regulator of the system ever in trod uced , and thousands of grateful sufferers testify to this fact. For instance, Captain H. Dibden, Master Balmain Ferry Boat, was for years an acute sufferer from nervousness, debility and chronic dyspepsia. He had recourse to Clements Tonic, which effectually cured him. He says :—Balmain, — Dear Sir,— l have much pleasure in giving my evidence in support of the value of Clements Tonic. For a long time I suffered from indigestion and debilicy, and tried many remedies with but little benefit. Seeing Clements Tonic advertised, I .tried it, and after the first bottle I felt quite a change, and am now a new mdQ altogether, and shall be glad to afford anyone further information if desired. And Mrs Woodlands, Port Macquarie, suffered from Sluggish Liver, Hsepatjtis and Dyspepsia. She took three bottles of Clements Tonic and the paiu was completely gone and perfect health restored. She writes :— Port Macquarie, N.S. W.— Dear Sir, — For many years 1 have been suffering from very severe pain in the side and indigestion. I tried all sorts of remedies and consulted many medical men, but I could get no relief. I then tried Clements Tonic, and before I had taken three bottles the pain in my side was completely gone, and [ never felt so well in my life before. And Mr S. D. Wood, Verger of all Saints Cathedral, Bathurst, and a most reputable, respected citizen of" the city of the plains," frankly endorses this wonderful remedy. He says : — Howickstreet, Bathurnt, January 30th, 1890. Dear Sir,— l hav*e lately been taking Clements Tonic with such wonderful results that I am induced, as a matter of justice, to send a plain statement of my case, which you are at liberty to publish in the interest of similar sufferers. For some years I have suffered acutely from indigestion, giddiness, languid, tired feelings, no inclination for exertion, humming noises in the ears — this symptom being especially troublesome — and extreme lowness of spirits. 1 tried many "cures " which did me no good. I eventually used Clements Tonic, and the second dose completely cured the noises in my ears, and during recent attacks they were worse than ever before, but, thanks to Clements Tonic, before the first bottle was used my general health was greatly improved, and I can truthfully state that it is far superior to any other medicine I ever took, and I honestly believe that all sufferers will derive great and permanent benefit from its use. All unpleasant feelings have entirely left me, and I shall always use Clements Tonic when out of sorts. It is a grand pick-me-up, and I am thankful that I gave it a trial, 'i here can be no doubt even in the most sceptical mind, after such proofs as this.
