"THE INFLUENZA."
The influenza is ragin? again this year with unprecedented deadlines.*. The paralising 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. D -of- rs, nurses, und hospitals are doing everything possible for sufferers but ar© overwhelmed by the multitude crying bitterly for relief. A dispatch from one town states that 300 people died m one day, this was the daily average, and the streets were crowded with vehicles carrying the dead to their resting places ; and the sad vacancy of death depressed every household. Suoh trying times as these demand immediate attention. The doctors fail, and the many advertised cough- and. cold ,cures aro only sedative which interfere with the proper secretions of tli • respiratory tract. Recourse must bo hud to a genuine stimulating restorative w hie*, whilst curing his grippe, witl also strong 'ien and support the patient, and no am.le the world has so far seen can compare to Clements Tonic for these efforls. During the greut outbrerife of influenza m Sydney m 1890, over 50,000 bottles of Clements Tonic were consumed and ita praises were sung m every quarter as the dieease was completely stamped ont by tbe use of this remedy m tour weeks. S-'ch facts as this prove beyond the doubt of the tnost unbelieving sceptic tlio value of.Clemenis Tonic for such disease!*. Mrs. M. Kellett, Parramatta, N. S. W., writes :—>* Sir, — Four years ago I caught a severe cold which settled m my head and chest, and caused an incessant cough and copious discbarge of phlegm ; this brought on great weakness and debility. After considerable, attention and doctors' treatment, the cou«h was relieved and linally cured, but the debi ity remained and seemed to defy the skill of l the medical men aud 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 begun to improve : I could cut better, ani relish and digest what I did eat. I gained fleph every day and my strength rapidly returned, and after sii week's treatment with Clements Tonic, 1 felt a new woman altogether, f took Clements Tonic six months a»-o, and have nover hnd any sickness since, and am on'y too glad to add my name to your list of gratelul sufferers,' Rumomber you must get the genuine 'Clements' Tonic, sold by chemiste, grooers un I storekeepers, every whore.
