Does Terror Kill ?

Anguish of mind has driven many to suicide, anguish of body never. This proves that the health of the mind is 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 mental 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 symptoms of disease but takes precautions, as did a gentleman who writes : — "I write to let fou know that lam a patron of your wonderful Clements lonic ; I have been, a great sufferer, and read of Mrs Mailer's cure in the newspapers, her case was nothing to mine, but, thank God ! through her letter I am cored, and after the doctors had pronounced sentence of death on me. I am very grateful, to Mrs Mailer for her letter. I have great pleasure in adding my testimony to that of the many others cured of Berious diseases by the use of Clements Tonic ; I have suffered 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, and 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 sice ; sharp shooting pains pierced the heart and frequently chill* 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, . ".Doctor, if »ou will cure me, I will pay you what you 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 you may send for me." He thought I should soon die, I «aye his treatment a fair trial,; but the swelling of my body increased so much that I had to remain in bed ; the pains increased and extended all down the side, and my eye>aight was how almost completely gone. I consulted another eminent medical man who, after sound ing me and .testing my urine, said I had bright's disease. I asked if he could ] i me me, he said he would do his best, and if I would continue his medicine I should improve ; I did so and it had but little mote effect than water. Two fru-nds of miue culled my attention to xVJrs McelierV letter in the paper who had been cured of the same disease by c iemeats Tonic. 1 procured a supply, and taking it strictly in accordance with . the directions, the swelling began to go down, I kept up the use of Clements Tonic, anc now thank God, I am cured, ' my swellings hay. all subsided, my eyesight is an good as ever. 1 took a e^Qsl many bottles, but that is nothing as it has cured me, und I cannot describe its value. — Yours truly, Thomas Irvine, Tatham JV.S.^T, " Sufferer's must see that ihpy get Clements 'ionic only, as many swindles are on the market F.
