A True Bill.
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 an exhausted brain is an irritable brain. You may not feel the evil effects of the stress of brain work at the time, but you will sooner or later, when it will be t< o late. The men that work at night with their brains are the ones that expose themselves to danger and death, which will surely come unless the great strain on the mind is lightened. Any man that neglec s the first warning of a brain or nervous system that is becoming exhausted, overtaxed or about to break down, ia not only a fool but a criminal. These signs are not many, but they tell the story of coming dangers only too plainly. Headache, sleeplessness, irritability of temper, neuralgic pains about the head and heart, unrefreshful sleep, nervous dyspepsia, dull eyes, heavines of the head, and stupid feeling after meals, worry about trifles, unreasonable anger, tingling and numbness in the limbs, cold feet and hands, Hushed face and burning ears, palpitation of the heart, and irregular, weak and unsteady pulse. When you note these symptoms beware ; the brain and nerves are about to break down, and it may be 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, disease, &c. If Clkments Tonic was not genuine, would the Kiama Reporter call it ‘ The Remedy of the day/ or the Tamworih News say it was ‘ A specific for all diseases of debility/ or the Goulburn Post say it was * a Radical Cure.’ or the Newtown Chronicle say it was ‘ A Remedy of approved efficacy/ or the Nepean Times call it “ A really first class Tonic,’ or the Maoleay Argus say ‘ It is a reliable article/ or the Bubetin say 4 lt is a remedy of the highest value/ or the Grafton Grip say ‘ Praise is supeifluous/ or the Bin* gera Telegraph designate it ‘ A valuable medicine.’ or the Presbyterian say, ‘ It can be confidently prescribed.’ Yet all these papers have printed these words in connection with Clemekts Tonic. The Press is far too conservative to endorse an unproved article, but we can show hundreds of similarly eulogistic comments from the press similar to the above. We don’t need to guarantee when we oin get disinterested parties to speak of Clements Tonic as the journalists do.
