LONGEVITY.

It is likely that a tendency to longevity is frequently inherited—that it runs in families. We know that a lack of vitality, weakness of constitution, tendency to certain diseases are transmissable. Presuming that nature never indicates any physiological reference for individuals, we caiinot cannot lor this principle of preservation by the fact that in all large families the weakest and diseased die out, leaving only the healthy and most hearty to propagate. With such sound stock, long life through successive generations is the result. It the truth must be told plainly, death is usually a species of suicide. People seem set upon the mode of life which will kill them quickest. Too much eating and too little sleeping, stimulants, reckless dissipation, brains over-burdened with business, hearts harrowed with cares and responsibilities of life—such are the things that hurry folks into early graves. Worry and nervous excitement kills people qu'cker than wars and famines. The great fault with mantind is that it fails to take notice of the first warnings which nature Bcndß. Let a person suffer a simple (as she or he thinks) symptom, let it be headache, sleeplessness, indigestion or neuralgia, it is a common remark t»v them to say, " Oh ! it's noth- ;««. letit go as it came." Suchsymptoms •—•de serious attacks of disease, always pre... " a aDpreciated how and if such warnings ut.. _ life much misery, suffering and cvu. . itself might be saved. A few shillings i invested in two or three bottles of 1 Ciemesis Tonic will ward off disease. 1 create a healty appetite, stimulate the I liver and kidneys, and compel all the '. organs to properly perform their ] functions. Mr James O'Leaiy, Goulburn ; (1«.5,W.) writes :—" In 18651 was gold- ] mining in Victoria and was attacked by 1 typhoid fever which laid me on a sick ; bed for seven months ; I was delirious l nost of the time, so cannot say exactly ivhat happened to me during that a jeriod; all that 1 know is that for seven j ir eight years afterwards I was con- j. inually in the bands of the doctors, who £ ,omehow did not seem able s o grapple with the peculiarities I. if my.caue; they finally adv'°ed a sea I

voyage. I wont to Europe, stayed there 6omo months, caught a severe cold in trying English winter, which turned to pleursity and laid me at death's door for the second time. I was carried on to the steamer to come to Austrnlia, as I thought, to die; however, the voyage revived me a little and I could walk with the help of a stick. On arrival at Sydney, I read of the wonderful effects of Clements Tonic in restoring enfeebled strength. I got a bottie, felt better, got another, felt better still, then another and another and kept at i till I had taken ten bottles, and I felt as if 50 years had been taken off my life ; more like a man of thirty than one of 83. It completely restored my strength and health and 1 believe it is the most wonderful medicine the world has seen, f;r Clements Tonic made a young man of me, when doctors, their physic and their sea voyages failed. lam now 85 years oi age, haye married my fifth wife within the last 2 years and have a son under 6 months old, and hope to live another 20 years. I think that spys something in favour of Clements Tonic.
