Damaged Men

Yon can see any day, in the streets of any city, men who look damaged'— men, too, of good original material, who started out in life with generous aspira tions. Once it was said that they were bright, promising lads ; once they looked h&ppilj into the faces of mothers whose daily breath was a prayer for their parity and peace. Going to the bad ! the spell of evil companionship; the willingness to hold and use money not honestly gained ; the stealthy, seductive, plausible advance of the appetite for strong drink ; the treacherous fascination of the gambling table ; the gradual loss of interest in business and in things which build a man up ; rapid weakening of the whole bodv ; a depletion of the general strength and vitality ; the struggle for existence and the worry and turmoil of life breaks up the vital strength and hurries many a man into an untimely grave. First symptoms are numerous, headaches, nervousness, failure of appetite and indigestion, and various other signs. All are forerunners of some impending serious physical com plication. Recourse had to a rational medicament such as Clements Tonic always removes all signs of disease, re-> stores the action of every impaired organ, increases tha appetite and aids digestion, thus ensuring a healthy organism and granting the afflicted a new lease of life. " For several yearc I have been steadily declining in health, suffering from nervous prostration, dizziness and unnatural expectoration, flushed face after meals, sleepless nights and headaches, as if a great weight was over my head. Tbe action of the kidneys was defective, and I often suffered severely from the swelling of the legs, a circumstance from which very serious consequences were apprehended. I retired recently from the proprietorship of the Albion Hotel Bourke street, Melbourne, owing to my ill-health, and hoped that complete rest would effect a material change for the better, and that I would be able to spend my declining years with more comfort ; but my health was not benefitted in tbe least until Clements lonic was brought under my notice. A short course so improved mv condition that it suppressed all nervousness, subdued all my pain, greatly increased the flow of urine; and I consider c lements Tonic " a remedy without a rival."
