DOES TERROR KILL?

Anguish of mind has driven many to suicide, anguish of body never. This proves that the health of the mind is of far more consequence to our happiness than the health of the body, althongh both are deserving of much more attention than either receives. In protracted cases of disease it is the continual mental strain and worry that enervates and finally undermines the whole system and destroys the vital spark. How many men apparently healthy to-day are lying in a cold grave a week benoe. They are negligent of their health, and think they can shake every attack off. The effect of such foolishness becomes apparent to every man sooner or later, and wise is he who never neglects the symptoms of disease, but takes precautions, as did a gentleman who writes:— "l write to let you know that lam a patron of your wonderful Clements' Tonic. I have been a great sufferer, and read of Mrs Mcsller's cure in the newspapers. Her case was nothing to mine ; but, thank God ! through her letter I am cured, and after the doctors h»d pronounced sentence of death on inc. lam very grateful to Mrs Mceller for her letter. 1 have great pleasure in adding my testimony Uy that of the many others cured of serious diseases by the use of Clements' Tonic ; I have suffered terribly froca liver and kidney disease. Two years ago my strength began rapidly to decline — I had dull headache, completely lost my appetite, and was almost blind — (failure of sight is a symptom of Bright's disease — Ed.). I had tiger-claw cramps in the calves of my legs, and severe rheumatic pains, followed by diarrhcei, strength continued to fail, accompanied by extreme pallor of the face, puffed under the eyes, and persistent swellings of legs", knees, and ankles, and my whole body was swollen to a wonderful size ; sharp shooting pains pierced the heart, and frequently chills and fever would attack me. The swelling was bo bad that I was afraid to even drink a glass of water. I consulted a doctor, and he examined my water, and he said it was a bad case of liver disease, and also Bright's disease of tbe kidneys ; he prescribed medicine and liniments with mustard baths. I said, '• Doctor, if you will cure me, I will pay YOTJWHAT you LIKE." He replied, " I can holdout no hopk fob you." I said, "That is very bard." " I never like to take • man's money, " said he, " without telling him the truth, and I will come to you at any hour of the night you may Bend for me." He thought I should soon die. I gava his treatment a fair trial, but the swelling of my body increased so much that I had to remain in bed ; the paius increased and extended all down the side, and my eyesight was now almost completely gone. I consulted another eminent medical man who, after sounding me and testing my urine, said I bad Bright's disease. I asked if he could cure me, he said he would do his best, and if I would continue his medicine 1 should improve ; I did so and it bad but little more effect than water. Two friends of mine called my attention to Mrs Moeller'a letter in the paper who had been cared of tbe same disease by Clements' Tonic. I procured a supply, and taking it strictly in accordance with the directions, the swelling began to go down. I kept up the use of Clements' Tonic, and now, thank God, I am cored, my swellings have all subsided, my eyesight is as good as ever. I took a good many bottles, bnt that is nothing as IT HAS COKED HM, and I cannot describe its value. — Yours truly, Thomas Irvine, Tatham, N.8.W." Sufferer's must see that they get Clements Tonic only, as many swindlers are on tbe market. F. M. Clements, 212 A' Beckett street, Melbourne.
