Mr. Gladstone as a Daring Diner Out.
7P?he London Court Journal says : — " Mr Gladstone dines out with a regularity and daring that could not be excelled by a maa of half his yeats. One who meets him often at these gastromatic tournament says that Mr G.s participation in their enjoyments is by no means perfunctory. Some men past 60, s^ill dining out, enjoy themselves under severe restrictions, daintily picking thair way through the menu. Mr G. past 80, is apparently under no such restrictions.
He eats what comes, generally fight through the menu, arid Can take his glrtHS df fl or * after his'Hbittion. of champagne, a test from Which many an ardent diner out would shrink. His mental ac'Jvity is on a par with his physicial vigour. His conversation is a never flagging flood, brimful of interest. If it were only possible to re-pro-rtude a Verb'jitJrn rejiort df his conversation ; lit a djiiner-pai'ty, where tile jMso'rial surroundings are sufficiently interfstiag to pxeiite l im to talk, there would be produced a volume of interest, biographical, autobiographical; and historical. His memory is marvellous arid his power df graphically recalling an incident is the adinirritJoii of even the gentlemen behind the chairs." Mr Gladstone is to be congratulated on possessing a perfect liver, not all men can say the same ; the slightest overindulgence in eating or drinking, is sufficient with some pnople to npset the liver and cause billious attacks ; these eventually lead to serious dHeftse and make the sufferer's life one continual misery. Timely use of Clement's Tonic with an occasional close of Dr i ? letch6r's l'ills will always cure the most rterioiti rfftses as BhoWri hi the pfcldfd Vonchftfpti by Mr W. Kelly, Albury, N.S.W, who says : " Vov nearly twelve months I have been subjected to such a most distressing diseases that I thought my constitution was breaking up. I had most acute pains in my chestj and.my liver was so enlarged that I cduld dot lie on my right Bide, there were also sharp paifis Irouncl the kidneys combined with severe headaches pimply unbearable, causing great physical weakness. I was treated by doctors but only experienced temporary relief from my complicated disorders. When my condition was most critical I was persuaded to try Cleirieiits Tonic") irhioh I. took with I)r Fletcher's Pills, and after the use of the first bottle of Clements Tonic my pains vanished like magic. I used in ali three bottles of Clements Tonic and two boxes of Fletcher's Pills, and the swelling of my liver was removed. I have gained greatly in weight and my chest and lungs are stronger than ever. I ant well-known as an old resident and my recovery has excited much interest here.
