"THE INFLUENZA."
The influenza is ragina: again this year with unprecedented deadlines?. The paralieing influences of this terrible malady have assumed the alarming dimensions of a plngue. The distemper is of powerfully destructive eharactdr, and shatters victims with fearful suddenness. The severity of the visitation eclipa all previous attacks. The medical faculty foils to account for the outbreak, nud m powerless to cvn.rol its spread. Doct rs, nurees, and hospitals are doing everything pjssible for sufEorers but are overwhelmed by the multitude crying bitterly for relief. A dispatch from one town slates that 300 people died m one day, this was the daily average, and tho streets were crowded with vohiddß carrying the 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 the respiratory tract. Uecourse must bo had to a genuine stimulating restorative which, whilst curing his grippe, will a'so strengthen and support (ho patient, and no article the world has so far seen can compare to Clements Tonic for those offorls. During the great outbroafe of influenza m Sydney m 1890, over 50,000 bottles of Ci- ..onts Tonic were consnmed and its praises were sung m every quarter as the disease was completely stamped out by the use of this remedy m tour weekß. S'icli facts as this prove beyond the doubt of the most unbelieving sceptic the value of Clements Tonic for such diseases. Mrs. M. Kellett, Parramatta, N. S. W., writes : — ' Kir, — Four ytara ago 1 caught a severe cold which settled m my head and chest, and caused nn incessant cough and copious discharge of phlegm ; this brought on great weakness and debility. After considerable attention and doctors' treatment, the cough was relieved and finally cured, but the debiity remained and seemed to defy the skill of the medical men and the power of medicine. I had no appetite, and could scarcely eat a particle of food, and was almost reduced to a skeleton, having entirely wasted away. I had taken pints of codliver oil, malt extracts, and other 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 could eat better, and relish and digest what I did oat. I gained fleph every day and my strength rapidly returned, and after six week's treatment with Clements Tonic, 1 felt a new woman altogether. [ took Clements Tonic six months n^o, and have never had. uny sickness since, and am only too glad to add ray name to your list of grateful sufferers, 1 Remember you must get ' the genuine • Clements* Tonic, sold by chemists, grocers and storekeepers, oveiywhere.
