A Subject for Thought.

It is no simple matter to state in terms at all precise what forces are directly con. nected with the production of hale and happy old age. More certainty is involved in the process than mevo strength of constitution. Healthy surroundings, contentment and active, temperate and regular habits are most valuable aids. Hard work, so long at least as it is not carried beyond the limit necessary to permit of the timely repair of worn tissues, is not only harmless but of a couducive circumstance. Ie is in fact, by living as far as possible a life in accordance with natural law that wq may expect to reap the appropriate result in its prolongation. Great care should be taken to protect the system against the changes which disease makes therein ; coming misery calls its shadow before it and intimates its approach by various signs, as a feeling of general weakness, neuralgic pains,, nervous headaches and rising of sour wind from tho stomach, backache and lumbago, failure of vcrility nnd gradual diminution of mental power and similar symptoms, all tend to show that general debility is increasing in the patient's sys tern. Such persons should take notice of the experience of Mrs C. Whittington, 11. Coventry Pace, South Melbourne, who for some years was afflicted with excessive nerve prostralion, and who writes : —I have b;en suffering over four years with noises in my head, caused by a flight a few days after confinement. During the whole tf this time the least excitement would make me very nervous, and it was with great difficulty that I could do my household work, and have scarcely ever had a proper night's rest, being continually disturbed with terrible dreams. I tried many remedies and was also under medical treatment, but nothing did any good until a friend recommended Clements Tonic. I took a large bottle and have much pleasure in testifying to the good it has done me ; the noises in my head are removed and I can rest at night now. and am fully convinced that Clements Tonic does all that is claimed for it. and I recommend it to &\\ I borne in contact with, suffering as I have done."
