Is It Suicide?

Mark Twain tells the story that at the inquest held on the body of Buck Fanshaw—who dnring the delirium of a raging typhoid fever had taken arsenic, shot himself through the body, cut hia throat, and jumped out of a four-story window, breaking his neck—the jury, after due deliberation, sad and tearful, but with intelligence unblinded by its sorrow, brought in a verdict of “ death by visitation of God.” Buck undoubtedly committed suicide, and so does everyone that neglects the first symptoms of approaching sickness and disease. Nature always gives ample notice of any dis turbance of physical processes ; sometimes it is neuralgia, sometimes a sharp shooting pain in the abdomen or side, or a dull or throbbing headache ; no two persons get the same symp toms. What you have to do is to attack the first symptoms, for if consumption, dropsy, cancer, or Bright's disease once gets a start, you cannot stop its headlong course to tbe grave. These are facts there is no disputing, for all the medical skill in the world cannot do much for you when real organic disease has set in. We emphatically recommend Clements’ Tonic because we know by personal experience and by the evidence of influential and reliable people who have used it that it will do good and prevent disease. Clements’ Tonic is a medicine that invigorates and strengthens the entire corporal organism ; it does not only affect certain members but strengthens the whole system, thus preventing the attacke of disease. Tfie Tumut and Adelong Times says !- “ Clements* Tonic certainly deserves the popularity it has acquired, we have had proof positive, in cases (under our notice) in this neighborhood, of its valuable properties, Mr T. Garrett, M.P., says, “I have taken Clements' Tonic with great advantage,” Mr John Plummer (Fort-street Public School) says, “ Mrs Plummer has frequently derived great benefit from tbe use of Clements’ ToKip.” Mr 8- D. Wood (Verger of All Saints Cathedral, Bathurst), writes : “ That he found Clements' Tonic a grand pick-me-up and it completely cored him of low spirits, indigestion, giddiness, and humming noises in the ears.” ' - Mr G. Swan, Junee Junction, who suffered from debility, cardiac weakness and nervousness, following on typhoid, took Clements’ Tonic and says, •“ That after taking fi or 7 bottles his health was fully restored, and that he can now eat anything and do any reasonable amount of work, whereas before taking Clements’ Tonic he could do none at all." Clements’ Tonic can he obtained from all medicine dealers or from F. M, CLEMENTS, Newtown, Sydney,
