THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.
The Influenza Is raging again this year with unprecedented deadliness. The paralysing influences of this terrible malady have assumed the- alarming dimensions of a plague. The distemper is of» powerfully destructive charaoter, and shatters its victims with fearful suddenness. The severity of the visits- j tion eclipses all previous attacks. The medical faculty fails to aocount for the outbreak, and is powerless to control its spread. Doctors, Nurses, and Hospitals are doing everything possible for sufferers, but are overwhelmed by the multitude cryinp bitterly for relief. A dispatch from one town states that 300 people died in one day, this was about the daily average, and the streets were crowded with vehicles carrying the dead to their last resting place ; and the sad vacancy of death depressed eveiy household. Such trying times as these demand immediate attention. The dootors fail, and the many advertised cough and eold'eures are ouly sedatives which interfere with the proper secrectons of the respiratory tract, Beourse 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 cau 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 were 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 doubt of the most unbelieving sceptic, the value of Clements Tonic for such diseases. Mrs M. Kellett, Parramatta, N.S.W., writes, —"Sir,—Four years ago I caught a severe cold which settled in my head and chest, and caused an incessant cough and copious discharge of phlogm; this brought on great weakness and debility. After considerable attention and doctors' treatment, the cough was relieved and finally cured, but the debility remained and seemed to defy the skill of medical men and power of medicine. I had no appotite, and could scarcely eat a particle of food, and almost reduced to a skeleton, having entirely wasted away I had taken pints of cod-liver oil, malt extracts, and other medicines without relief, when 1 was recommended to take Clements Tonic. I procured a bottle, and am thankful to say that I immediately began to improve; I could eat better, and relish and digest what I did eat. I gained flesh every day, and my strength rapidly returned, after six week's treatment with Clements Tonic, I i felt a new woman altogether. I took i Clements Tonic six months ago, and i have never bad any sickness since, end < am only too glad to add my name to . your list ot grateful sufferers." Be- , member you must get the genuine J "Clements" Tome, sold by chemists, grocers and storekeepers, every where. '
