THE INFLUENZA.

The influena is raging again this year with unprecedented deadliiiess. The paralysing influences of this terrible malady have assumed the alarming dimensions of a plague. The distempter is of a powerfully destructive character,, and; shatters its victims with fearful suddenness., , The. severity of the visitation eclipW all previous attacks. The medical faculty fails to account for the outbreak, and is (powerless to control its spread. Doctors, Nurses,.and hospitals are doing everyting possible for sufferers, but are overwhelmed - by'the multitude crying bitterly for relief. A dispatch from one town states that>3oo people died in one day,: thiskwas'about the daify averagej and the streets were crowded; with, vehicles carrying the dead to their last resting place ; and the sad vacancy of death depressed every household. Such trying times as these demand immediate attention. The doctors fail, and the many advertised eough and cold- cures are only sedatives which interfere with the the proper secretions of the respiratory tract. Recourse must be had to a genuine stimulating- restorative, which, whilst curing his grip, will also strengthen and support the patient, and no article the world has so far seen can compare to Clements Tonic for these effects. During the great outbreak of influenza in Sydney in 1890,'over 50,000 bottles of Clements Tonic were consumed, and its praises wero sung in every quarter as the disease was completely stamped out by the use of this remedy in four weeks. Such facts as this prove beyond, the .doubt of the most unbelieving sceptic, the value of Clements Tonic for such diseases. Mis M. Kellett, Parramatta, N.S.W.j writes; —" Sir, ■ L -' Four years ago I caught a severe cold which settled in my head and chest, and caused an incessant coughs and copious discharge of phlegm; this brought ou great weakness ad debility. After considerableatiteniiori and doctors' treatment, the cough was relieved aiid finally cured,but the; debility '■. remained and seemed to defy the skill of the medical men and the power of medicine. I had no appetite, and could scarcely eat a particle of food, and was almost reduced to a skeleton, havhig entirely wasted away. I had taken pints of cod-liver oil', malt extracts, and other medicines without relief, when I was- recommended' to take Clements Tonic. I procured a and am thankful to say that I immediately began to,improve;,l could eat better, and relish arid dige'st what I did eat. I gained flesh every day, and my strength rapidly returned, arid after six weeks' treatment with Clements Tonic, I felt a new woman altogether. I took ■ Clements:' Tonic sixmonths ago, and have never had any sickness since, and am only too glad to add my name to your list of grateful sufferers." Remember you must get the geninue " Clements Tonic" sold by chemists, grocers, and storekeepers, everywhere.
