It is likely that a tendency to longevity is frequently inherited— that a runs in families. We know that a lack of vitality, weakness of constitution and a tendency to certain diseases are transmissible, Presuming that natnre never indicates any physiological preference for individuals, we can account for this principle of preservation by the fact that in all large families the weakest and diseased die out. leaving only the healthy and most hearty to propagate. With such sound stock, long life through successive generations is the result. If the truth must be told plainly, death is usually a species of suicide. People seem to set upon the mode of life which will kill them quickest. Too much eating and too little sleeping, stimulants, reckless dissipation, brains overburdened with business, hearts harrowed with cares ani reeponsib.lities of life— such are the things that hurry folks into early graves. Worry and nervous excitement kill people quicker than w^rs and famines. The great fault with mankind is that it fails to take notice of the first warnings which nature sends. Let a person suffer a simple (as he or she thinks) symptom, let it be a headache, sleeplessness, indigestion cr neuralgia, it is a common remark for them to say, '• Oh, it's nothing, let it go as it came." Snch symptoms always precede serious attacks of disease, and if such warnings were appreciated, how much misery, suffering, and even life itself tuigtat be savel. A few shillings invested in two or three bottles of Clements Tonic will ward off disease, create a healthy appetite, stimulate the liver and kidneys, and compel all the organs to properly perform tbeir functions. Mr James O'Leary, Goulbourn, (N.B W ) writes :— " In 1865 I waj gold-mining in Victoria and was attacked by typhoid fever which laid me on a sick bed for six months ; I was delirious most of the time, so cannot Bay exactly what happened during that period ; all that I know is that for seven or eight years afterwards 1 was continually in the hands of the doctors, who somehow did not seem able to grapple with the peculiarities of my case; they finally advised a sea voyage. I went to Europe, stayed there some months, caught a severe cold in the trying English winter, which turned to pleurisy and laid me at death's door for the second time. I was carried on to the steamer to come to Australia, as I thought, to die ; however, the voyage revived me a little and I could walk with the help of a stick. On arrival at Bydney, I read of the wonderful effects of Clement's Tonio in restoring enfeebled strength. I got a bottle, felt better, got another, felt better still, then another and another, and kept at it till I had taken ten bottles, and I felt as if 50 years had been taken off my life ; more like a man of 30 thin one of 83. It completely restored my strength and health, and I believe it is the most wonderful medicine the world has seen, for Clement's Tonic made a young man of me, when doctors, their physic and their sea voyages failed. This is a fact, and there is no denying such facts. lam now 85 years of age, have married my fifth wife within the last two years and have a son under 6 months old and hope to live another 20 years. I think that says something in favour of Clement's Tonic."
