THE ENFLUENZA EPIDEMIC."

The influenza is ragn r again this year with unprecedented deadlines*. The para Using influences of this terrible malady have assumed the alarming dimensions of a plague. The distemper is of powerfully destructive character, and shatters victims with fearful suddenness. The severity of the visitation eclips all previous attacks The medical faculty fails to account for the outbreak, aud is powerless to control its spread. Doctors, nurses, and hospitals are doing everything possible for sufferers but are overwhelmed by the multitude crying bitterly for relief. A dispatch from one town states that 300 people died m one day, this waa the daily average, and the streets were crowded with vehicles carrying tho dead to their resting places ; and the sad vacancy of death depressed every household. Such trying times as these demand immediate attention. The doctors fail, nnd the many advertised cough and cold cures are only sedative which interfere with the proper secretions of tho respiratory tract. Recourse must be had to a genuine stimulating restorative which, whilst curing his grippe, will also strengthen and support the patient, and no article the world has so far seen can compare to Clements Tonic for these elforls. During the great outbreak of influenza m Sydney m 1890, over 50,000 bottles of Clements Tonic were consumed and its praises were sung m every quarter as tho disease was completely stamped out by tho nae of this remedy m tour weeks. S"ch facts as this prove beyond the doubt of tbe most unbelieving sceptic the value of Clements Tonic for such diseases. Mrs, M. Kellutt, Parramatta, N. S. W., writoa :— ' Sir, — Four years ago I caught a severe cold which settled m my head and chest, and caused an incessant cough nnd copious discharge of ph login ; tbis brought on great weakness and debility. After conßiderstblo attention and doctors' treatment, the coit^h was relieved and finally cured, but tho dobi'ity remained and seemed to defy the skill of the medical men and the pswer of modi cine. I had no appetite, and could scarcely eat a particle of food, and wus almost reduced to a skeleton, having entirely wasted away. I had takon pints of codliver oil, malt extracts, and othor medicines 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 conld oat better, and relish and digest what I did oat. I gained floph every day and my strength rapidly returned, and after sis week's treatment with Clements Tonic, I felt a new woman altogether. I took Clements Tonic six months 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' Tonic, sold by chemistp, grocers and storekeepers, everywhere.
