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 protracted cases of disease it is the con* tinaal 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_pre: cautions, as did a gentleman who writes — " I write to let you^know that lam a patron of your wonderful Clements Tonic ; I haye been a great sufferer, and read of Mrs Mailer's cure in the newspapers, her ease 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 Tome ; I have suffered terribly from liver and kidney diseaae. 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 seyere Theumatic pains, followed by diarrhoea, strength continued to fail, accompanied by extreme pallor of ihe face puffed under the eves and persistent swellings of legs, knees, and ankles, and mj whole body was swollen to a wonderful size ; sharp shooting pains pierced the heart and frequently chills 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, " Jjoctor, if you 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 gave his treatment a fair trial, but the swelling of my body increased so much that I had to remain in bed ; the pains in» creased and extended all down the side, and my eye-sight was now almost completely gone. I consulted another eminent medical man who, after sounding me and testing my urine, said I had Bright's disease. I asked if he could cure 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 more effect than water. Two friends of mine called my attention to Mrs M caller's letter in the paper who had been cured of the same disease bj Clements Tonic. I 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, ana now thank God, I am cured, taj swellings haye all subsided, my eye* sight is as good as ever. I took a good many bottles, but that is nothing as it has cured me, and - 1 cannot describe its value.— Yours truly, Thomas Irvine, Tatham N.S.W. " Sufferer's must see that they get Clements Tonic only, as many swindles are on the market. F. Ai. Clements, 212 A'Beckett- street, Melbourne.
