Does Terror Kill?

«. _ Anguish of mind has driven many to suicide, anguish of body never. This proves that the health of the mind is of far more consequence to our happiness than the health of the body, although both are ! d>. eiving of much more attenlion than ! either receives. In protracted cases of disease it is the continual mental strain i and worry lhat enervates and finally under- | mines the whole system and destroys the j vital spark. How many men apparently ' healthy to day are lying iv a cold grave a I week hence. They are negligent of their I health and think they can shake every attack oft*, the effect of such foolishness becomes apparent to every man sooner or later, and wise is ho who never neglects the symptoms of disease but takes precauj tions, as did a gentleman who writes : — " I write to let you know that I am a patron of your wonderful Clements Tonic ; I -have been a great sufferer, and read of Mrs Mceller's cure in the newspapers, her case was nothing to mine, bur, thank God! through her letter I p,m cured, and after the doctors had pronounced, sentence of death upon me. lam very grateful to Mrs .iMa'ller for her letter. 1 have great pleasure in adding my testimony to that of tlie many others cured of serious diseases by the use of Clements Tonic ; 1 have suffered terribly from liver and kidney disease. Two years ago my strength began rapidly to decline, I had dull headache, completely lost my appetite, and was almost blind — (failure of sight is a symptom of Bright's disease. —Ed). I had tiger claw cramps in the calves of my legs, and severe rheumatic pains, followed by diarrhcea, strength continued to fail, accompanied by extreme pallor of the face, puffed under the eyes and persistent swelling of legs, knees and ankles, and my whole body was swollen to a wonderful size ; sharp shooting pains pierced the heart and frequently chills and fever would attack me. The swelling was so bad that I was afraid to even drink a glass of water. I consulted a doctor, and he examined my water, and he said it was a bad case of liver disease, and also Bright's disease of the kidneys ; he prescribed medicine and liniments with mustard baths. I said, " Doctor, if yon will cuie me, I will l'.w you what yoo Mice." He replied, " i can hold _c_ no hope .ok you." I said, " That is very hard." v I never like to take a man's money," said he, " without telling him the truth, and I will come to you at any hour of the night you may send for me." He thought I should soon die, I gave his treatment a fair trial, but the swelling of my body increased so muoh that 1 had to remain in bed : the pains increased and extended all down the side, and my eyesight was now almost completely gone. I consulted another eminent medical man who, after sounding me and testing my urine, said I had Bright's disease. I askfcd if he could cure me, he said he would do his best, and if I would continue his medicine I should improve ; I did so and it had but little more effect thau water. Two friends of mine called my attention to Mrs Mteller's letter in the pap.r who had beon cured of the same disease by Clements Touic. I procured a supply, aud taking it strictly in accordance with the directions, the swelling began to go down, I kept up the use of Clements Tonic, and now, thank God, I am cured, my swellings have all subsided, my eyesight is as good as ever. I took a good many bottles, but tliat is nothing as it has cithki) mk, and I cannot describe its value. — Yours truly, Thomas Irvine, Tatham, N.S.W." " Sufferer's must see that they get Clements Tonic only, as many swindles aro on the market. F. .I. Clements, 21_ A'Beckett-street, Melbourne
