The influenza

Tne influenza is raging again this year -•■with unprecedented deadliness. The paralising influences of . this terrible mal- .- ady J haye" assumed the' alarming dimen» ■r. sions y of-a plague" The 'distemper is of a ~ powerfully destructive character, and - shatters its victims with fearful sudden- - dpss. .The severity of the visitation . eclipses "^ll previous attacks.' The medical Faculty fails to account for the out* D;val£.';and is powerless to control its :. spre^S. l)pctors, Nurses, and hospitals . are doing eyerything possible for sufferers "but - are :ii 6Verwhelmed by the multitude crying bitterly for relief. A dispatch f rom-'one 'town states that 300 people died in one day, this was about the daily : average', and the streets' were crowded ■witk - ; *ehieles carrying .the dead to their . last resting place ; and the sad vacancy of death, depressed every household. Such trying times as these demand imanediate. attention. The doctors fail, and the many advertised cough and cold - cures are only sedatives which interfere "with the -proper secretions of the respira rtory, duct. ■,->. Recourse must be had to a _^i genuine 'stimulating restorative, which, -whilst curing his grip, will also strengthen -and, support the patient, and no anicle v the world has so far seen can compare to **- Clements Tonic for these effects. Dnring - the great outbreak of influenza in Sydney in 1890 i over 50,000 bottles of Clements Tonic were consumed, and its praises - -were sung in every quarter as the disease -was. completely stamped out by the use of "this remedy, in four weeks. Such facts •as this prove beyond the doubt of the most unbelieving sceptic, the value of -Clements Tonic for such diseases. Mrs M. Sellett, Parramatta, N.S.W., writes: — " Sir, —Four years ago I . caught a severe bold which settled in my head and •chest, and causedUn incessant cough with -copious ■'' discharge of phlegm ; this ■broughton great weakness 'and debility. After considerable attention and doctors' treatment, the cough was relieved and finally cured, but the debility remained and seemed to defy thY skill of the lnedi•eal men 'and the power of medicine. I Tiad rio appetite, and could scarcely eat a -particle of food, and was almost reduced "to a ! skeleton, bavin? entirely wasted away. I had- taken pints of cad'liver oil, malt extracts, -and other medicines "without relief; when I was recommended to take Clements Tome. 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 eat. I gainer flesh every day, and my strength rapidly returned, and after six week's treatment with Clements Tonic, I felt a new women 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."
