Dr. Morgan T. Wills, a recognised American authority on cerebral disease and insanity, writes : “It is well for us to know that the emotions cause more unhappiness and crime than any other function of the brain. Human beings are governed by their emotions ; and it is well that they should be, though it is emotions that wear away the brain! It is the emotions such as anxiety, fear, sorrow, and love. I consider that eight hours are sufficient for a man to use his brain, because if he exceeds that time he becomes nervous and fretful, and ari exhausted brain is an irritable brain. You may not feel the stress of brain work at the time, but you will sooner or later, when it will be too late. The men that work at night with their brains are tbe ones that expose themselves to danger and death, which will surely come unless the great strain on the mind is lightened. Any man that neglects the first warning of a brain or nervous system that is becoming exhausted, overtaxed, or about to break do”vu, is not only a fool but a criminal, These signs are not many, but they tell the story of coming daugers only too plainly. Headache, sleeplessness, irritability of temper, neuralgic pains about the head and heart, unrefreshful sleep, nervous dyspepsia, dull eyes, heaviness of the head and stupid feeling after meals, worry about trifles, unreasonable anger, tingling and numbness in the limbs, cold feet and hands, flushed face and burning ears, palpitation of tbe heart, and irregular, weak, and unsteady pulse When you note these symptoms, beware ; the brain and nerves are about to break down, and it maybe insanity, perhaps death.” For all such troubles we recommend Clements Tonic. This is a scientific specific, brain and nerve food, and positively repairs the ravages of overwork, time, and disease, strengthens the whole system, _ adds new lifo, tone and animation, as it did in the case of John Ellis, Esq., Invercargill, N.Z., who writes :—-I have great pleasure in saying that Clements Tonic has done me a great deal of good. While staying in Tasmania some time previously I suffered from weakness and general debility, headaches in the morning, and very dull eyes. _I was aclvised to try Cleineiits Tonic, "\vliicli X clid, and can safely say that it cured me and made me fit for business again. I am always happy to advise others to try Clements Tonic. —lam, yours truly, John Ellis, Baggott’s Hotel, Dee-street, Invercargill, N.Z,
