MR. CLEMENTS EXPLAINS.
Many people have expressed surprise that Clements Tonic has met with such wonderful and unprecedented sucoess m such a short time. Tbe explanation is simple— It is genuine. I saw the thousands of worthless hoggwill American nostrums fl>od ing the Australian 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 thoso rubbishy articles, all of which made the country so much Ihe poorer. I also knew that the exigencies of life m this conntry and the climate necessitated the use of an artificial bloodmoker to restore the normal condition and vital forces which were bo enervated by climatic and oilier influences. I also saw the thin, palf, delicate, and attenuated men and women of Australian cities, and studied the causes and ways means of remedying the evil ; I saw that it wbs impossible <o bring the article required into popular favour except m the form of a patent medicine. 1 kno«r of the thousands of poumls spent by the public annually m purchasing inert and sometimes harmful c^ncnctiotH of worthless ingredients, and asked myself — Why cin't we manufacture the firticle the public require, and make it of genuine and beft materials, aid fo give an article which Will Do the good which p her makers only claim that theirs will do? I knew that such a remedy c uld be made, nnd that unless it mot with public approval great los 3 must result. However, I determined to venture on ita introduction^ and thus Clements Tonic ciune to be made, and m the short i apace ol 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 enormoua sale m this city is proof positive of its virtues, for no article can command a great sale at the home of its birth unless it is übsolutely and conclusively proved to be genuine. Clements Tonio has replaced every other article offered, and has tho largest consumption tenfold of any other Australian medicine; and ibis i.s not r!ae the a<3 vertisinur expenditure of its prirr'etor buttoita pure, undisputed merit. Fellow Amatrahans, we don't wool the Yankee quack to dump hia ship-loads of clnp-trap fooleries and cure-alls on our Australian shores, and fool us with his smooth toDgue nnd plausible- humbug ; neither do we want him to suck the v itality and mairow out of our people with his consignment of chemical slops, which, with specious plausibility, he guarantees to euro everything fion. epilepsy to impecnninsity. -We want »i genuine article made m our own land, by our own people bought wiili our own money; then tne money remains m our own country, and the country is so much the richer thereby and we all have h chance of handling il again ; whereas, if it once gela into tlie rnpaciou«maw of the Yankee quack, farewell, it is gone for ever. I know my tv tide is genuine, and that it contains the material to make it cure disease where disease is cursb'e. You may depend upon it that if Clements Tonic fails ull other must fail. I can Produce hundreds of proofs of the truth of ray statements and the virtues of wy remedy. F. M: Clemeptp, Newtown, N. >\ W.
