Why is It?
■ Why is it that death ahoald come before the allotted age of * three score and ten/ and why so many millions of human beings never live to three scroe and five, and why that not one in every thousand live to three score years P We kill ourselves. Many interest* ing particulars are found in tables of phyBiologists and writers on hygiene. The eminent physiologists, Haller and Buffon, present interesting particulars on the subject of longevity. They treat it in two ways, historical and physical. The historical side of the recitation of all facts known of the naturally ordinary and extreme duration of life and the physical aspect of the problem involves the contemplation of the great natural phases of development of the species, digestion, period of growth and length of | life. I Mankind pays too little attention to the warning voice of nature, signs of approaching calamity are unheeded, and disorganization of the affected organ increases and after a time becomes insensible, then no pain is felt and thesufferer is deluded into the belief that bo Has . shaken off the disease, nothing could be more erroneous or dangerous, for the complaint has only passed oh one further stage towards the end and nature ceases to send those warning aches and pains as they were unnoticed when sent, the debility and weakness increases however and' nervousness, loss of appetite, and general langnor pomes on and a cold is caught in the kidneys, lungs or liver and another life is sacrificed to Bright’s disease, Consumption, or some other serious and fatal disease. Scoffers can talk as they like at the virtues claimed for Clements Tonic but even the most prejudiced men knew it is genuine and does possess merits no other medicine ever did, as instanced in the followcase. “ For the past four years I have been a great sufferer from severe pains in the back and left side, being at times quite unable to do any work or even walk about. I suffered in this way until it became quife unbearable and in February 1889,1 consulted a physician who treated men ifor seventeen months, and during that time I suffered the severest torture under bis treatment and instead of improving continued to get worse, he said at last, “ I have done all I can and you will never be better.” This drove me to despair, and I went under another doctor’s treatment for four months and took about 30 bottles of medicine, but with no result. I was giving up all hopes when I read of the wonderful cures affected by Clements’ Tonic and on my husband’s advice I tried it, and after the use of only three bottles I was quite a different woman. I have taken fifteen bottles, and feel as well and strong as ever, and can do my work with ease and pleasure, whereas it was a great trouble before using Clements’ Tonic. I can now also walk for miles without fatigue.« Before taking this medicine I have often suffered with Neuralgia for weeks at a time and could never get any relief but since taking Clements Tonic I have never had an attack of it since, as a result of my experience I have much pleasure, in recommending it to all afflicted.

Header Is it any wonder interested people should be jealous of Clements’ Tonic when its patrons write snob spontaneous praise as that? yet there is not a mail bag comes put our way but what brings as similar letters.
