Why is It?

Why is it that death should come befor the allotted age of ' three score and ten, ' and why so many millions of human beings never live to three score and five, and why that not one in every thousand live to three score years P We kill ourselves. Many interesting parti* culars are found in tables of physiologists and writers on hygiene. The eminent physiologists, Haller and Buffon, present interesting particulars on the subject of longevity. They treat it in two wajs, historical and physical. The historical side of the recitation of all facts known of the naturally ordinary and extreme duration of life, and the phjMcial aspect of the problem involves, the contemplation of the great natural phases of developement of the species, digestion, period of growth, and length of life. AJankind pays too little attention to the naming voice of natnre, signs of approaching calamity are nnhooded, the disorganization of the effected organ increases, and after a time becomes insensible, then no pain is felt and the sufferer is deluded into the belief that he has shaken off the disease, nothing could be more erroneous or dangerous, for the complaint has only passed on one further stage towards the end, and nature ceases to send those warning aches and pains as they were unnoticed when sent, the debility and weakness increases however, and nervousness, loss of appetite, and general langours comes on and a cold is caught in the kidneys, Jungs or liver, ana another life is sacrificed to Bright's disease, Consumption, or some other serious and fatal disease. Scoffers can talk as they like at the virtues claimed for Clements Tonic but even the most prejudiced men know it is genuine, and does possess merits no other medicine ever did, as instanced in the following case. "For the past four years I have been a great sufferer from severe pains in the back and left side, being at times quite unable to do any work or even walk about. I suffered in this way until it became quite unbearable and in February, 1889, I consulted a physician who treated me for seventeen months, and during that time I suffered the severest torture under his treatment, and instead of improving continued to get worse, he said at last, " I have done all I can and you will never be better." This drove me to despair, and I went under another doctor's treatment for four months and took about 30 bottles of medicine, but with no result. I was giving up all hopes when I read of the wonderful cures effected by Clements' Tonic, and on mv husband's advice I tried it, and after the use of only three bottles I was quite a different woman. I have taken 15 bottles, and feel as well and strong as ever, and can do my work with ease and ileaeure, whereas it was a great trouble before using Clements' Tonic, I can now also walk for miles without fatigue. Before taking this medicine I have often suffered'with iVeu* ralgia for weeks at a lime, and could never get any relief but since taking Clements Tonic I have never had an attack of it since, as a result of my experience I have much pleasure in recommending it to all afflicted. Mrs S. K. Baker, Swan Street, Morpeth, 2s. a W Eeader:— ls it any wonder interested people should, be jealous of Clements'' Tonic, when its patrons write such sj>< ntaneous praise as that P yet there is not a mail bag conies out our way but what brings us similar letters; F.
