Damaged Men

You can see any clay, in the streets of any city, men who looked 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 aivl peace. Going to the bad ! the spell of evil comimnionship; the willingness to I. old and use money not honestly gained ; the stealthy seductive, plausable advance of ihe appetite for strong drink; ihe treacherous fascination of (he 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 depletion of the general strength and vitality ; tho struggle for existence an i the worry and turmoil of life breaks up the vital strength and hurries .many a man into an untimely grave. First symptoms are numerous, headaches, nervousness, failure of appetite and indigestion, 'and various other signs. All are forerunners of some impending serious physical complication. Recourse had to a rational medicament such as Clemeuts Tonic always removes all signs of disease, restores the action of every impaired organ, increases the appetite and aids digestion, thus ensuring a healthy organism and grauting 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, flushed face after meals, sleepless nights and headache, as if a great weight was over my head. The action of the kidneys was defective, and I often suffered severely from the swelling of ths legs, a circumstance from which very serious consequences were apprehended. I retired recently from the proprietorship of the Albion Hotel, Bourkestreet, Melbourne, owing to my ill-health, and hoped that complete rest would effect a material change for the better, and that I would 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 go 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."
