Mr Clements Explains.

L Many people have expressed surprise that Clement's Tonio hai met with aueh . wonderful and unprecedented success iu I such a short time. The explanation is 1 simple—it is genuino. I saw the thou* - sands of worthless hogs-will American : : nostrums flooding the Australian market i year by year, month by month, day by day, and knew that a great amount of money left these shores annually in return fcr these rubbishy articles, all of' which made the country bo much the , poorer. I also knew that the exigencies ' . of lifo in this country and the climate ! necessitated the use of an artificial blood- 1 ; maker to,restore the uoruial condition, and vital forces which were so enervated by climatic andother influences. Jsaw the . thin, pain, delicate, and attenuated men and women of Australian cities, and ' studied the causes and ways and means . of remedying the evil; I saw thqt it wis itr possible to bring the article required into popular favor except in the form of , patent medicine. I know of the thousands of pounds spent by the publio annually in purchasing inert. and sometimes harmless concoctions of worthless ingredients, and asked myself—Why can't we manufacture the artiole the publio require, and make it of genuine and best materials, and give ' an article which will do the good which other maker# only claim that theirs will do ? I knew that such a remedy could be made, and that unless it met with public approval great loss would result. However, I determined to venture on its introduction, and thus Clements came to be made, and in the bI)iJBL,L space of two years it has spread over whole face of this continent. It is sold in every store in Australasia as freely as in Sydney: apd the mere fact of its enormous sale in' this city is proof positive of its virtues, for no article can command a great sala at the home of its birth unless it is absolutely and conclusively proved to bo genuine. Clements Tonic has replaced eyery other article offered, and has the largest consumption tenfold of any other Australian medicine; and this is not due to the advertising expenditure of its proprietor, but to its pure, undisputed merit. Fellow Australians, we don't want the Yankee quack to dump his ship-loads of clap-trap fooleries and curealls on eur Australian shores, and fool as with his smooth tongue and plausible humbug j neither do we want him to i suck the vitality and marrow out of our people with his consignments of chf niical slops, which, with specious plausibility* ho guarantees to cure everything from epilepsy to impucuniosity. We want a genuine reticle, made in our own land, by our own people, bought with our own moiiey, then the money remaius in our own country, and the country' is so much the riohcr thereby, and wo .all havo a chance of handling it again; whereas if it once gets into the rapacious muw of the Yankee quack, farewell! it is pone • for ever. 1 know my articlels genuine, and that it contains the material to mako it oure disease where disease is curable. Yoa may depond upon it that if Clement's Tonic fails all othors must fail. 1 can produce hundreds of proofs of the truth of my statemen ' and the virtues oiuiy remedy F. 61. Clements, New Cvwu, N, S.
