Obtaining not the slightest benefit trbtti prescriptions, I lost faith in medicine of any kind) tfntil; most happily, a friend, Mr L , urged trie to give a trial to Clements Tonic. I was reluctant Wdo soy but ultimately bought a bottle, and was so pleased with the result that I continued to use it regularly, and after using six bottles lam in very good health. I always keep Clements Tonic, and I find it a good family remedy.— l am, yours respectfully, J.- H. Firth, 45 Courtenay-place, Wellington) New Zealand.
