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 and use money not honestly gained: the stealthy, seductive, plausible advance of the appetite for strong drink ; the treacherous fascination of the gambling table ; the gradual loss of interest in business and in things which build a man , up : the rajdd weakening of the whole body : a depletion of the general strength and vitality : the struggle for existence and the worry and turmoil of life breaks up the vital strength and hurries many a man into an untimely grave. First symptoms are numerous, headaches, nervousness, failure of appetite and indigestion, and various other signs. All are forerunners of some impending serious physical complication. Recourse had to a rational medic&ment such as Clements 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 3teadilv declining in health, suffering from nervous prostraction, dizziness and unnatural expectoration, flushed face after meals, sleepless nights and headache, as if a great weight was over my head. The action of the kidneys was defective, and I often suffered severely from the swelling of the legs, a circumstance from which very serious consequences were apprehended. I retired recently from the proprietorship of the Albion Hotel, Bourke street, Melbourne, owing to my ili-health, and hoped that complete rest would effect a material change for the better, and that I wonld be able to spend my declining years with more comfort; but my health was not benefitted in the least until Clements Tonic was brought under my notice. A short course so improved my condition that it suppressed all nervousness, subdued all my pain, greatly increased the flow of urine ; and I consider Clements Tonic “ a remedy without a rival. ” Gkobge Steadman, Melbourne.
Clements Tonic is now sold at ±3. and os. per bottle. If your local chemist declines to sell at these prices, go to H. Francis and Co., Bourke street, or Hood and Co., Elizabeth street, who will supply you. —F. M. Clements, 212 A’Beckett street, Melbourne.
