"IMITATION is the SINCEREST FLATTERY."
The at tides roost imitated lire CLEMENTS TONIC and FLETCHER'S PILLS.
WHY? BECAUSE they have the best reputation and are most in demand bj' 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 bh° truth as regards the un«cupu!ou3 quacks and charlatans who prey on the credulity of the Australian public. Scarcely a week ever passes bul what the press exposes the barefactd and shameful practices of s:>me of these harpies ; jor, in face of al', they speni to thrivo, and the paper who hounds them down most thriven fattest on their ad^ertipcmcntn and cracks champ.\f»nc ovejr eich balance sheet. Clements Ton ; c and Fletcher's Pills have never yet Rtnoped 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.
