MR. CLEMENTS EXPLAINS.

— o— Many people have expressed surprise that Clements Tonic has met with such won lerf ill and unprecedented success m such a chort timfl. The explanation is simple— lt n genuine. I saw the thousands of worthless hogswill American nostrums flooding the iustralian market year by year month by month, day by day, and knew that a great amount of money left these shores annually m return for theHo rubbishy articles, all of which made the country so much the poorer. I also knew that the exigencies of life m this country and the climate necessitated the use of an artificial bloodmaker to restore the normal condi'ioti and vilal forces which were so enervated by climatic and oilier influences. I also s»w the thin, pair, delicate, an! attenuated men and women of Australian cities, and studied the causes and ways means of remedying the evil ; I saw that it wes impossible to brin^ the article required into popular favour except m the form of a patent medicine. 1 kno*r of the thousands of poumlfs ppent by the public annually m jjurcliusing inert nnd sometimes harmful concoctions of worthless ingredients, and aaked myself — Why ein't we manufacture the article the public require, and make it of genuine and best materials, aid po give no article which Will do the good which o her mnUors only claim that theirs will do? I knew that such a remedy culdfce made, and that unless it met with public-approval great losa must result. However, I determined to venture on its introduction, and thus Clements

Tonic came to be made, and m the short space ot two years it has spread over the whole face of this continent. It is sold m every store m Anstralasia as freely as m Sydney : and the mere fact of its enormous sale m this city is proof positive of its virtues, for no article can command a greut sale at the home of its birth unlesa it is absolutely and conclusively proved to be genuine. Clements Tonic has replaced every other article offered, and has the largest consumption tenfold of any other Australian medicine; and this is not r'ua the advertising expenditure of its pr<nr etor r-uttoits pure, undisputed merit. Fellow Australians, we don't wvot the Yankee qnack to dump hia ship-loads of clnp-lrap fooleries and cure-alls on our Australian shores, and fool us with his smooth tongue and plausible humbug ; neither do we wnat him to suck the vitality and marrow out of our people with his consignments of chemical slops, which, with specious plausibility, he guarantees to cure everything ft on. epilepsy to impecunineity. We want «i genuine article made m onr own land, by our own people bought wiih onr own money; then tne iimney remains m our own country, and tho country is so much the richer thereby and we ail have i chance of handling it again ; whereas, if it onco geia into the rapacious maw of the Yankee quack, farewell, it is gono for ever. I know my »r tide is genuine, and that it contains the material t> make it cure disease where disease is curable. You may depend upon it that if Clements Tonic fails all other must fail. I enn Produce hundreds nf proofs of the truth of tin y statement and tho virtues of my remedy. F. M: ClenientP, Ne<vtown, N. >•'. W.
