WHY IS IT?

Why is it that death should come before the allotted age of " three score and ten," and why so many millions of human beings never live to three score and five, and why tbat not one in every thousand live to three score years f We kill ourselves. Many interesting particulars are found in tables of physiologists and writers on hygiene. The eminent physiologists, Haller and Buffon, present interesting particulars on the subject of longevity. They treat it in two ways historical and physical, The historical side of the recitation of all facts known of the naturally ordinary and extreme dnration of life and tbe physical aspect of tbe problem involves the contemplation of the great natural phases of development of the species, digestion, period of growth and length of life. Mankind pays too little attention to the warning voice of nature signs of approaching calamity are unheeded, the disorganisation of the affected organ increases, and after a time becomes insensible ; then no paiq is felt and the sufferer is deluded into the belief that he hat shaken off the disease. Nothing could be more erroneous or dangerous, for tbe complaint has only passed on one further stage towards the end and nature ceases to sand those warning aches and pains as they were unnoticed whea sent, the debility and weakness increase?, however, and nervousness, loss of appetite, and general langour comes on, and a cold is caught in the kidneys, lungs, or liver, and another life is sacrificed to Brighfs disease, consumption, or some other fatal disease. Scoffers can talk as they like at the virtues olaimed for Clements' Tonic, but even the most prejudiced men know it is genuine, and does possess merits no other medicine ever did, as instanced in tbe following case. " For the oast four years I have been a great sufferer from severe pains in tbe back and left side, being at time* quite unable to do any work or eveo walk aoout. I suffered in this way until it became quite unbearable and in February, 1889, I consulted a physician who treated me for seventeen months, and during that time I suffered the severest torture under his treatment and instead of improving continued to get worse, he said at last , •• I have done all I can and you will nevez be better. This drove me to despair and I went under another doctors treatment for four months and took about SO bottles of medicine but with no resnlt. I was giving up ail hopes when I read of the wonderful cures affacted by Clements' Tonio and on my husband's advice I tried it, and after tbe use of only three bottles I was quite a different woman. I have taken 15 bottles and feel as well and strong as ever and c«n do my work with ease and pleasure, whereas it was a great trouble before using Clements' Tonic. I can now also walk for miles without fatigue. Before taking this medicine I bare often suffered with neuralgia for weeks at a time and could never get any relief, but since taking Clements Tonic I have never bad an attack of it since, as a result of my experieoca I have mooh pleasure in recommending it to all afflicted. Mrs 8. B. Baker, Swan street, Morpeth, N.S.W. Reader:— ls it any wonder interested people should be jealous of Clements' Tonic when its patrons write such spontaneous praise as that ? yet there is not a mail bag comes out oar way but woat brings us similar letters.
