Does Terror Kill ?

Angufch of mind has driven many to suicide, anguish of body never. This proves that the health of the mind ts of far more consequence to our happiness than the health of the body, although both are deserving of much more attention than either receives. In pro« tracted cases of disease it is the continual taental strain and worry that enervates and finally , undermines the whole system and destroys the vital spark. How many men apparently healthy today are lying in a cold grave a week hence. They are negligent of their health and think they can shake every attack off, the effect of such foolishness becomes apparent to every man sooner or later, and wise is he who never neglects the «ymptoms of disease but takes precautions, as did a gentleman who writes : — '• I write to let you; know that I am a patron of your wonderful Clements Tonic j I haye been a great sufferer, and read of Mrs Moeller'ar cure in the newspapers, her case was nothing to mine, but, thank God ! through her* letter I am cured, and after the doctors had pronounced sentence of death on me. I am very grateful to Mrs Mealier for her letter. I haye great pleasure in adding < my testimony to that of the many others cured of serious diseases by the use of Clements Tooio ; I have coffered terribly ' from liver and. kidney disease. Two years ago my strength began rapidly to decline, I had dull headache, completely lost my appetite, and was almost blind —(failure of sight is a symptom, of Bright's disease.— Ed). I had tiger claw cramps in the calves of 'my legs, gnd severe rheumatic pains, followed by diarrhoea, strength continued to fail, accompanied by extreme pallor of the face puffed under the eyes and per*sistent swellings of legs, knees, and ankles, and my whole body was swollen to a wonderful size ; sharp shooting pains pierced the heart and frequently chilli and fever would attack me. The swelling was so bad that I was afraid to even drink a glass of water. I consulted a doctor, and he examined my water, and he said it was a bad case of liver disease, and also Bright's disease of the kidneys; he prescribed medicine and liniments with mustard baths. I said, " iJoctor, it you will cure me, I will pay you what yon like." He replied, " I can hold out no hope for you." I said, " That is very hard. " " I never like to take a man's money, " said he, " without telling him the truth, and I will come to you at any hour of the night yon may send for me." He thought I should soon die, I gave his treatment a fair trial, but theswelling of my body increased so muuh that I had to remain in bed ; the pains increased and extended all down the side. and my eye-tight was now almost completely gone. I consulted another eminent medical man who, after soanding me and testing my urine, said I had Bright's disease. I asked if he could cure me, he saiu he would do his best, and if I would continue his medicine I should improve ; I did so and it had but little moie effect than water. Two f, lends ol mine culled my attention to Airs Mailer's letter in the paper who hud been cured of the same disease by <J>< menis Tome 1 procured a supply, sad taking it strictly in accordance with the direciious, the swelling began to h o down, I kept up the use of Clements lonic, anc now thank God, I am cured, my swellings have ail •subsided, my ejelight is as good us ever. 1 took v kuuJ many bottles, buL ihuL is nothing as il has cured me, and I cannot describe its value. — Yours truly, Thomas Irvine, Tatham JN.S.W." Sufferer's must see that they get Clements Tonic ouly, as many swindles are on the market F M, Clements, 212 A'Beckett- street, Melbourne.
