Does Terror Kill?

Anguish of mind has driven many to sui-cide,-anguish of body never. This proves th«t that the health of the mind is of far more consequence to our happiness than the health of the body, although both are deserving of much more attention than either receives. In protracted cases of disease it is the continual mental strain alid worry that enervates and finally undermines the whole system and destroys the vital spark. How many men apparently healthy to-day are lying m ft cold grave a week hence. They are negligent of their health and think they can shake an attack off, the effect of such foolishness becomes apparent to every wan sooner or later, and wise is he who never neglects the symptoms of disease but takes precautions, 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 Mailer's cure in the newspapers, her case was nothing to mine, but, thank God ! through her letter I am cured, and after the doctors had jn-onounoed sentence of death on me. lam very grateful to Mrs M«ller for her letter. 1 have great pleasure in adding in my testimony to that of the many others cured of serious diseases by the use of Clements Tonic ; I have suf-ferred-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 daw cramps in the calves ol my legs and

iitevere rhcdmn 1 tic pains, followed by diar-j-htea; strength continued to fail, accomp&niotl b*y ertjreme pallor of the face, puffed iinfler the eyes and persistent swellings of legs,' knees ftucl HtiKles; timlriiy whole bofly was swollen 10 a wonderful si£e ; 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 ft bad case of liver disease, and also Bright's disease of the kidneys ; ke prescribed medicine and liniments with mustard baths. I said* ' Doctor, If yon will ciire me, t will i>is you wWat ror like." He replied, "i cay lioM> otjf fid hope fob you," I said. "That is very hard." "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 lny body increased so much that 1 had to remain in bed i the paitis increased and ex tended all down my side, and my eyesight was now almost completely gotie. I consulted another eminent medical man Who, after sounding me and testing my urine, said I had Bright's disease. I asked if he could cure me, he said he would do his best, and if 1 should continue his medicine I should improve ; I did so and it had but little more effect than Water. Two friends of mine called my attention to Mrs M teller's letter in the paper Who had been cUred of the same disease by Clements Tonic. I procured a supply, and 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 dwellings have all subsided, my eyesight is as good as ever. I took a good number of bottles; but that is nothing as tt Hah cubed Atrc, and I cannot describe its value. — Yours truly Thomas Irvine, Tatham, N.S. VV." Sufferers must see that they get' Clements Tonic only, as many swindle* are on the market. F. M. Clements, 212 A'Beekettstreet, Melbourne.
