‘ IMITATION is the SINCEREST FLATTERY.’ The articles most imitated arc CLEMENTS TONIC and FLETCHER’S PILLS. WHY ? BECAUSE they had the best reputation and are most in demand by the public, consequently, every dishonest trader tries to trade on their fame and renown. It is really wonderful that the Australian people are so slow to see the truth as regards the unscrupulous quacks and charlatans who pre} - on the credulity of the Australian public. Scarcely a week passes but what the press exposes the barefaced and shameful practices of some of these harpies, yet, in face of all they seem to thrive, and the paper who hounds them down most thrives fattest on their advertisements and cracks champagne over each ballance-sheet. Clements Tonic and Fletchers Pills have never yet stooped to deception and misrepresentation. They are scientific therapeutical agents, and evidence as to their value can be found in every district, and such being the case it is unnecessary to further extol their virtues.
Originality is naught but judicious imitation.
