Mr Gladstone as a Daring Diner out

The London Court Journal says :■— •• Mr Gladstone dines out with a regularity and daring that could not be excelled by a man ' of half his yeavs. One who . meets him often at these gastromatio tournaments says that Mr (Vs. participation in their enjoyments is by no means perfunctory Some men past <iO, still dining out, enjoy themselves under severe restrictions, daintily picking their way through the menu. Mr G., past 80, is apparently under no such restrictions. He eats what comes, generally right through the menu, and enn take his glass of port after his ibation of champagne, a test from which many an ardent diner out would shrink. His men- j tal aotivity is on a par with 'his physical j vigour. His conversation is a never flagging flood, brimful of interest. If it . were only possible to reproduce a verbatim report of his conversation at a dinuer-party, where the personal surroundings arc sufficiently interesting to excite him to talk, there would be produced a volume of interest, biographical, autob ographical, and historical. His memory is marvellous, and his power of graphically recalling an incident ia the admiration 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 over indulgence in eating or drinking is sufficient with some people to upset the liver and cause billions attacks ; these eventually lead to serious disease and make the sufferer's life one continual misery. Timely use of Clements Tonic with an ocoasional dose of Dr Fletchers Pills will . always cure the most serious cases, as shown by the proofs vouchsafed by Miss Lucy Lammond, New. Plymouth, who writes :— " After many years of suffering, and travelling all over the world in search of good health, it git es me great pleasure to state that Clements Tonic has done me : more good than all the doctors, and nil ! the baths, spas and masseurs I have known j My life has been one round of misery for the past sevon years, owing (so the doctors said) to liver complaint. My head always ached, my limbs ached ; I was always tired and languid, and I felt more tired in the morning than when I went to bed. 1 had sleepless and restless nights, and could get no relief. Three months back I came to New Zoa'and, and in my travels frequently heard and read of Clements Tonic, and mother advised me try two or three bottles. lam pleased to s y that it has done wonders. I never have headaches now, and 1 have onlj taken three bottles, but I feel a I wonderfn 1 ) eal stronger and better, and you have my| heartfelt gratitude for your remedy.
