The True Protection

Nowadays tie fiscal policy is always a prominent plank in the platform of every politician, yet is it a wise policy on the part of the consumers to place a tax on the articles which they do not make but only consume? Suppose, for instance, the customs duty is 33 per cent, on imported goods, tfce wages of the laborer in all grades of employment in a country thus protected, should be 33 per cent, higher than in a freetrade , country to make * things equal — but, is it ever the case? True protection, like charity, begins at home, and in these days when the air is laden with microbes, bacteria and other germs of disease, it behoves us all to be on guard against the common enemy : old sge kills but few, disease slays its thousands and millions, and all because man* kind is so apathetic and careless about first signs of approaching sickness. Neuralgia is one of the most positive signs of the approach of some physical affliction, and requires immediate atten» tion, before it has progressed beyond human aid and fatal disease has got hold of some vital organ. S. C. Beilly, Esq., writes under date June Ist, 1891, from Garner's Avenue, Marrickville, JN.S.W. : "lean with confidence bear testimony to the wonderful curative powers of Clements Tonic For year* I have been periodically attacked and a great sufferer from neuralgia and general debility, and anyone who has ever being afflicted with such nervous misery can form an idea of what I have suffered. I had also chrcnic indigestion, general languid feelings and an utter dislike to exert myself. The neuralgia was so severe that I haye paced the hall all night and the agony was so excruciating that I was almost out of my mind. I tried all so-called remedies, also galvanic treatment, which did no good. At last a friend recommended Clements Tonic, and I was so miserable and disheartened that I purchased a small bottle and after the second dose felt great relief. I continued its use and am thankful to say that after twenty-four hours the pain bad disappeared, and I was free from tbe nervous terror. I continued Clements Tonic and have taken four botfles; all my langour is gone, I am free from indigestion, I can do a day 'B work with any man, and eat like a horse ; and have great pleasure m recommending Clements Tonic to any one suffering from nervous complaints. —Yours truly, S.
