"The Influenza."

The inf uenza is raging again this year wi* h unprecedented dead'iness. The parn--1? ing influencet of this terrible malady have assumed the alarming dimensions of a plagus. The distenr per is of a powerfully destructive character and shatters its victims with fearful suddenes*. The severity of the visitation eclipses all previons attacks. Thp medical faculty fails to account for tlie outbreak, and is powerless to . control its spread. Doctors, Nurses, and hospitals are doing everything possible for sufferers, but are overwhelmed by the multitude crying bitterly for- relief. A des patch from one town states that 300 people died in one day, this was about the daily average, and the street wer« crowded with vehicles carrying the dead to their last resting place ; and the sad vacancy, of death depressed every household. Such trying times as these demand immediate attention* The doctors fail, and" the many advertised cough and cold cures are only sedatives which interfere with the proper serections of the respiratory tract. Keronirse roust be hod to a gpnninp stimulating rest.orat.ivp, whi h, whilst curing this grip, will also sfrpn^hnn and snrmort thp patient, and no article thp world has so far <«ppn can compare to Clpmonts Tonic for these effects. During the great ontbrpflk of influenza in Svdnpy in 1890, over | 50.000 bottlps of Plementn Tonic were con"rnmpd, and its praises were sung in every' quarter as the disease was comp'etely stamped out by the use of this remedy in four weeks. Rnch facts as these prove beyond the doubt of the most unbelieving sceptic the valup. of Cements Tonic for such diseases; Mrs W. KslMt, Paramatta, N.R.W., writes :— " p ir,— Four vpars ago I caught a severe cold which settled in my *head and chest, and caused an incessant cough and copious discharge of phlegm ; this brought on grpat weakness and debility. After considerab'e attention and doctors treatment, the cou«h was relieved and finally cured, but the debility remained and seemed to defy the skill of the medica 1 men and the powpr of medicine T had no appetitp, and could scarclv ent a particle of food, and was almost redncpd to n skeleton, having entirplv wasted awnv. I had taken pints of cod-Hvpr oil. mat extracts, and other medicines without relief, w^p.n I was rpcommpndpd to tß^n Clements Tonic. I procured a botflp. wtv 1 am thankful to *ay tha* " immodintplv hpgan to imnrnvp ; T could pat better, nn'l relish and digest what I did eat. T fm-'i" 1 flesh every day, and my strength raniill* returned, and after six weeks treatment* with Cements Toni", I felt a new woman altogether. T took Clements Tonic six months ago, and have never had any sickness since, and am only too gad to add mv name to your list of grateful sufferers." Remember you must get the genuine " Clements " Tonic, sold by Chemists, grocers and storekepeers, everywhere.
