What Invention has Done
0— ; What has invention done? Well this serve as an example merely. It * tiaed to take by old methods, as compared with inventions now used, five •iimes as much labour in bootmaking, -four times "as much in flour-making, ithree times as much in coal-mining, six ?times as 'much in making 'tin cans, three rtimes as much in carriage making, and 'ten 'times as manj looms can now be managed by one weaver. At a silver 3n^ne in Nevada a stream of water Fall— ring 460ft. is made to turn a water-wheel, ' &nd gives 200 horse-power. The same :stream'is carried down another 168ft., and is caught on six water- wheels, giving <off 750 horse* power, which by means of /fclctncity is conveyed on to the sur« J face, and runs a 60»stamp buttery, [t is by Jthe same inventions — the water* wheel and electricity — that the great task of using Niagara is about to be effected. Only 4 yer cent, of the water wiU he used it will not, be noticeable >l>ut tliat 'quantity will supply 120.01X) -horse-power. The power will not be used on the spot, but will be conveyed ■by, electric wires, probably to a town sixteen miles away on the United States tsidc. In the fields of therapeutics, ,medicine and pharmacology iuventiye "genius has' resulted in the discovery of jan almost infallible remedy known as Clements Tonic. We know that this article is capable of causing more change in affected organisms than any other medicine the world has seen ; this is due to its peculiar operation on the organs of dige>tion, ''assimilation, secretion and excretion, for on these four processes life depends, for where one of these important functions is improperly performed, general ' impairment of the system sets in and results m chrome disease and finally death. It is sound wisdom to commence treatment ot cases of debility, indigestion, headaches, liver complaints, etc., at their onset, as if neg* Jeete<? a permanent change takes place in . the.tissues, the ..disease becomes chrome aud all the medical skill in the world then cannot restore the normal state ; ttiia 'is a fact admitted on all sides. We can emphatically recommend Clements Tonic in all sides and many other cases, b'ecause we have seen it in use in scores of houses and have never yet Heard a doubt as to its efficacy, we know it,contains,the material to make its action ~ certain, sure and prompt, and the en•lprsements over the signatures of in 'flaential - citizens are conclusive, as instanced by W. H. (-oddard, Esq , manngi r Commercial Bank, Newtown, N.brW..who writes :'— l have very much pleasure in stating ihat my family and mjself have denved'Very great benefit by the use of Clements Tonic, which I »tr« figly recommeiiil and ur*e unyone. suffering from weakucss and debility, so jirevalent in 'his enervating climate, ne^err to be without.' And Mr M Gordon, Hawthorne, Vic, says:— Per tol offer -my- grateful thanks for the wonderful relief I have experienced by^the u«eof Clements Tonic, 1 suffered,: ftow nervousness and general 4ebihty
