THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.

The influenza is roping again this yeai •with unprecedented deadlines:*. lie para lising influences of this terrible malady assumed the alarming dimensions ot a plague. TJie distemper is of a power! uln destructive character,and shatters its lrn ® with fearful suddenness. The seventy of the visitation eclipses all previous attacks. The medical faculty fails to account for the outbreak, and is powerless to control its spread. Doctors, nurses and hospitals arc doing everything possible for sufferers, but are overwhelmed by the multitude erring bitterly for relief. A despatch from one town slalei that 300 people died in one day. this was about the daily average, and the streets were crowded with vehicles carrying the dead to their last resting place ; and the sad vacancv of death depressed every household. Such trying times as these demand immediate attention. The doctors fail, and the many advertised cough and cold cures lire only sedatives which interfere with the proper secretions of the respiratory tract Recourse must be had to a genuine stimulating restorative, which, whilst curing bis gr p, will also strengthen and support the patient and no article the world lias so far seen can compare to Clements Tonic fur these effects. During the great outbreak of influenza in Sydney in 1890, over 50,000 bottles of Clements Tonic were consumed, and its praises wore sung in every quarter as the disease was completely stamped out by the use of Ibis remedy iu four weeks. Such facts as this prove beyond the doubt, of the most unbcliovi.ig Bppnlie the value of Clements Tonic for such diseases. Mrs M. Kellett, Parramatta, NSW writes “ &ir,—Four years ago I caught’a severe cold which settled in my head and chest, and caused an incessant cough and copious discharge of phlegm; this brought on great weakness and debility. After considerable attention and doctors’ treatment, tbe cough was relieved and finally cured, but the debility remained and seemed to defy the skill of tbe medical men and the power of medicine. I bad no >.plite and could scarcely eat a particle of food, and’was almost reduced to a skeleton, having entirely wasted aw»y. I bad taken pints of cod-liver oil, malt extracts, and other niedr nines without relief, when I was recommended to take Clements Tonic. I procured a bottle, and am thankful to say that I immediately began to improve; I could eat belter, relish and digest what I did eat. I gamed flesh every day, and my strength ™P‘ c * ! y turned, and after six week’s treatment wil l. Clement* Tonic, I felt a new woman altogether I took Clements Tonic six mo: tbs ago, and have never had any sickness since, and am only too glad to add my name to your list of grateful sufferers.” Remember you must get the genuine “ Clements ” lonic, sold by ehom isle, grocers and storekeepers, everywhere.
