A Subject for Thought.

■>■ It is ho simple matter to state in terms at all precise what forces are directly connected with the production of hale and happy old age. More certainty is involved in the process than mere strength of constitution. Healthy surroundings, content- ' meat and active, temperate and regular i 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 conducive circumstance. It is in 1 fact, by living as far as possible a life in accordance with natural law that we may ■ expect to reap the appropriate result in its , prolongation. Great care should be taken 1 to protect the system against the changes '. which disease makes therein ; coming misery calls its shadow before it and intimates iU approach by various signs, as a , feeling of qeneial weakness, neuralgic pains, nervous headaches and rising of 1 sour wind from the stomach, backache and lumbago, failure of verility and gradual ; diminution of mental power and similar symptoms, all tend to show that general debility is increasing in the patient's sysem. Such persons should take notice of i the experience of Mrs. C. Whittington, 11, i Coventry Pace, South Melbourne, who for - some years was afflicted with excessive nerve prostration, and who writes : —I have been suffering over four years with noises in my head, caused by a fright a few days after confinement. During the whole of this time the least excitement would make me very nervous, and it was with great 1 difficulty that I could do my household work, and have scarcely ever had a proper i night's rest, being continually disturbed with terrible dreams. 1 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 arc removed and I can rest at night now, and am fully convinced that Clements Tonic does all that is 1 claimed for it, and I recommend it to all I borne in contact with, suffering as I have done." Clements Tonic is sold everywhere. Offices and Laboratories, 212 A'Beckett-streot, Melbourne and Sydney.
