Damaged Men.

You can see ■’ .y day, in the streets of any city, men who look damaged—men, too, of good original material, who started out in life with generous aspirations. Once it was said that they were bright, promising lads ; once they looked happily into the faces of mothers whose daily breath was a prayer for their purity and peace. Going to the bad ! the spell of evil companionship ; the willingness to hold and use money not honestly gained ; the stealthy, seductive, plausible advance of the appetite for strong drink ; the treacherous fascination of the gambling-table; the gradual loss of interest in business and in things which build a man up; the rapid weakening of the whole body; a I depletion of the general strength and vitality ; the struggle for existance and the worry and turmoil of life breaks up the vital strength and hurries many a man into an untimely grave. First i symptoms are numerous, headaches, 1 nervousness, of appetite and indigestion, and various other signs. All are forerunners of some impending serious physical complication. Recourse had to a rational medicant such as Clements Tonic always remove all signs of disease, restores the action of every im| aired organ, increases the appetite and aids digestion, thus ensuring a healthy organism and granting the afflicted a new lease of life. “ For several years I have been steadily declining in health, suffering from nervous prostration, dizziness and unnatural expectoration, Hushed face after ■ meals, sleepless nights and headache, I as if a great weight was over my head. 'The action of the kidneys was defective, and 1 often suffered severely from the ■/welling of my legs, a circumstance i from which very serious consequences were apprehended. I retired recently from the proprietorship of the Albion Hotel, Bourke street, Melbourne, owing to my illbealth, and hoped .that complete rest would effect a materia? change for the better, and that I •’ outd be able to spend my declining years with more comfort; but my health was not benefitted in the least until Clements Tonic was brought under my notice. A short ■ course so improved my condition that it suppressed all nervousness, subdued all my pain, greatly increased the flow of urine ; and I consider Clements Tonic “ a remedy without a rival.” George ; Steadman, Melbourne.
