Indigestion

Manawatu Herald, 4 August 1894, Page 3

Indigestion

may be the result of a variety of causes, debility of the digestive tract, over mental work, nervous prostration, excessive smoking, tea, or spirit drinking. At any rate no matter what the cause, tho only treatment of any permanent benefit is a restorative treatment, the remedy must possess tonic, invigorating and strengthen • ing properties. This is not the case with any of the many purging mixtures sold as dyspepesia panaceas, and this proved by their makers stating that the dose must be increased until the desired effect is attained. This is due to the nostrum being purely a cathartic, and by continued use the stomach, liver and bowels become educated to the action of the medicine and it gradually loses all effect. Clements Tonic is quite distinct in its action, it assists digestion, promotes the flow of gastric and pancreatic fluids, increases the secretion of bile and thus assist the bowels to throw off the waste matter ; it strengthens the nerves, forms bone, muscle and nerve tissue, and increases the appetite. Clements Tonic is a natural restorative of a debilitated system. Bead the case of Mrs A. Lennie, Wellington, N.Z., who writes on August 23rd, 1893 :— Sir,— About 18 months ago I was afflicted with the influenza, which left me very weak; I applied to three different doctors, but none of them could do me any pood, I was almost wasted to a skeleton ; I had no appetite for food, and what I did take seemed to do ma no good; there was bad digestion and nervousness with complete prostration. I had read about your wonderful Clements Tonic, so I got a bottle, and the first dose gave me great relief, so I stuck to it. I took twelve bottles in all, and I am happy to say that your Clements Tonic has made a complete cure of me, I have not taken any for the last 6 months ; I am able to eat, work, and sleep as well as ever I did in my life. I recommend all my friends to give it a trial. — Mrs A. Lennie, Wellington, N.Z.
