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- ' tinual mental strain and worry that enerrates and finally undermines the whole system and destroys tbe vital sparkHow many men apparently healthy today are lying in a cold grave a week hence. They are negliftent 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 ot Mrs Mceller's cure in the newspapers, her case was nothing to mine, bnt, thank God ! through her letter 1 am cured, and after the doctors had pronounced sentence of death on me. I am very grateful to Mrs Mailer 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 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 ol Bright's disease.— Ed). I had tigei claw cramps in the calves of my legSj and severe iheumatic pains, followed by diarrhoea, strength continued to fail, accompanied by extreme pallor ol the face puffed under the t 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 chills and fever would attack me. The swelling was so bad that I was afraid to ever 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 tbe kidneys ; he prescribed medicine and liniments with mustard baths. I said " Doctor, it *ou will cure me, I will paj you what you like." He replied, " I car hold out no hope for you." I said •« That is very hard. " " I never like t( take a man's money, " said he, " withoul telling him the truth, and I will come tc you at any hour of the night yon maj send for me." He thought I should sooi (lie, I gave his treatment a fair trial, bui the swelling of my body increased so mucl that I had to remain in bed ; the uams increased and extended all down the side and my eye-sight was now almost completely gone. . I consulted anothci eminent medical man who, after sound ing 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 ] should improve; I did so and it had bui little more effect than water. Twc friends of mine called my attention tc Mrs Mceller's letter in the paper whe had been cured of the same disease by Clements Tonic. I procured a supply, and taking it strictly in accordance with the directions, the swelling began to gc down, I kept up the use of Clements Tonic, and now thank God, I am cured, my swellings haye all subsided, my eyesight is as good as ever. I took a good many bottles, but that is nothing as it has cured me, and I cannot describe its value.— Yours truly, Thomas Irvine, Tatham N.S.W." Sufferer's must see that they get Clements Tonic only, us many .swindles are on the market, F. Ai. Clements, 212 A'Beckett-street, Melbourne.
