IS IT SUICIDE?

MARK Twain tells the story : that at the inquest held on the body of Buck Fanshaw— who during the delirium of a raging typhoid fever had taken arsenic, shot himself through the body, cut his throat, and jumped out of a four-storey window, breaking hi« neck — the jury after due deliberation, sar 1 and tearful, but with intelligence unblinded by its sorrow, brought in a verdict of " death by the visitation of God.'

Buck undoubtedly committed suicide, and so does everyone who negleate the first symptoms of approaching sickness and disease. Nature always gives ample notice of any disturbance of physical processes ; sometimes it is neuralgia, sometimes a sharp shooting pain in the abdomen or side, or a dull or throbbing headache ; no two pel s^ns gat the same symptoms. What you bave to do is to attack the first symptoms, for if consumption, dropsy, cancer, or Bright's disease once gets a start, you cannot stop its headlong couree to the grave. These are facts there is no disputing, for all the medical skill in the world cannot do much for you when real organic disease has set in.

We emphatically recommend Clements' Tonic because we know by personal experience and by the evidence of influential and reliable peop'e who have used it that it will do gool and prevent disease. Cllments' Tonic is a medicine that invigorates and strengthens the entire corporal organism ; it does not only affect certain members but strengthe >s the whole system, thug preventing the attacks of disease.

The Tumut ani Adelong Times says :-" Clements' Tonic certainly deserves the popularity it has acquired, we have had proof j)»sitivc", \n cases (under our notice) in tbii neighbourhood, of its valuable properties." Mr.T. Garret, M.P., eaya :— " I have taken Clements' Tonic with great advantage?. Mr. John Plummer (Fort street PubHc School) says :— " Mrs. Plummer has frtquently derived great benefit from the use of Clements' Tonic."

Air. 8. D. Wood (_ Verger of All Saint' Cathedral, Bathurst), writes :—": — " That he found Clements" Tonic a grand pick me-upand it completely cuied him of low spirits, indigestion, giddiness, and humming noises in the ears. Mr. G. Swan, Junee Junction, wl.o surTer^d from debility, cardiac weakness, an 1 nervousness, f blowing on i\phoid, took Clements' Toxic and s*ys :— " That after taking fi or 7 bottles his htahh was fully restored, and that be can now rat any thins, and do any reasonable amount of work, whereas before taking Clements' Tonic he cmld <i.i uone at all."

( i.lmknts' Tonic can be obtained from all medicine dealers or fo n I' 1 . M. CLEMENTS, Newtown, Sydney.
