It is Suicide P
Mark Twain tells the story ; that at the inquest ln-ld on the body of Buck Fanshaw — who during the delirium of a raging typhoid fever had taken arsenic, snot himself through the body, cut his throat, and jumped out of a four-storey window, breaking his neck — the jury, after due delibention, sad and tearful, but with intelligence unblinded by its sorrow, brought in a verdict of " death by the visita ion of God." Buck undoubtedly committed suicide, and so does every cne who neglects the first symptoms of approaching sickness and disease. Nature always gives ample notice of any disturbance of physical processes ; sometimes it is neura'gia, sometimes a sharp shooting pain in the abdomen or side, or a dull or throbbing headache ; no two persons get the same symptoms. What you have to do is to attack the first symptoms, for if consumption, dropsy, cancer or Bright's disease < nee gets a start you cannot slop its headlong course to the grave. These are facts there is no disputing, for all the medical skill in the world cannot do much for you when real organic disease has sot in. \Ve emj:>hn.tieal!y recommend Clements' Tonic because we know by personal experience and by the evidence of influential and reliable people who have used it that it will do good and prevent disease. Cr.K--MF.NTB' Tox c is a medicine that invigorates? and strengthens the entire corporal organism ; it does not on'y affect certain members but strengthens the whole system, thus preventing the attacks of disease. The Tumut and A'lolong Time* says : — " Clements' Tonic certainly deserves the popularity it has acquired, we have had proof positive, in cases (undc our notice) in this neighbourhood, of its valuable properties. Mr T. Garrett, M.P., says, " I have taken Clements' Tonic with great advantage." Mr John Plummer, (Fort street Public Pchool) says, " Mrs Plummer has frequently derived g eat benefit from the uss of Clements' Tonic." Mr S. D. Wood (Verier of All Saints' Cathedral, Bathurst), writes, " That he found Clkments Tonic a grand pick-me-up aud it completely curedjjhim of low spirits, indigestion, giddiness and humming noises in the ears." Mr G. Swan, Junee Junction, who suffered from debility, cardiac weakness and nervousness, following on typhoid, took Clements' Tonic and says, "That after taking 6 or 7 bottles his health was folly restored, and that he can now eat anything and do any reasonable amount of work, whereas before taking Clements' Tonic he could do none at all." Clements' Tonic can be obtained from all medicine dealers or from F. M. CLEMENTS, Newtown. Sydney.
