THE TRUE PROTECTION.

Nowadays tbo fisoal policy is always a prominent plank in tho platform of evory politician, yet is it a wise policy on the part of the oonsutners to place a tax on tho articles which they do not make but only consume ? Suppose, for instance, the cus> torus duty is 33 per oent on imported goods, the wages of the labourer in all grades of employment in a country thus protected, should ho 33 per cent higher than in a freetrade country, to make things equal—but, is it ever the case ? True protection, like charity, beginß at home, and in these days when the air ia laden with microbes, ,bacteria aod other germs of disease, it behoves us all to be on guard against the common enemy ; old age kills but few, disease slays its thousands and millions, and all because mankind is so apathetic and careless about first signs of approaching sickness. Neuralgia is one of the most positive Bigns of approach of Borne physical affliction, and requires immediate attention, before it libb progressed beyond human aid and fatal disease haa got hold of some vital organ. S. C. Reilly, Esq., writes, under date Juno Ist, 1891, from Garner's Av6nae, Marrickville, N.S.W. : •* I can with confidence bear testimony to the wonderful curative powers of Clements Tonic. For years I have been periodically attacked aod a great sufferer from neuralgia and general debility, and anyone who has ever been afflicted with bucli nervouß misery can form an idea of what I have suffered. I had also chronic indigestion, general languid feelings, and an utter dialike to exert myself. The 1 neuralgia was so severe tbat X bave paced the hall all night, and the agony was bo oxcruciating that I waa almost out of my mind. I triod all so-called remedies, also galvanic treatment, which did no good. At last a friend recommended Clements' Tonic, and I waa bo miserable and disheartened that I purchased a small bottle, and after a 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 the nervous terror. I continued Clements

Tonic, and have taken four bottles ; all my languor is gone, I am free from indigestion, I can (lo a day's work with any man, and eat like a horse ; and have erreat pleasure in recommending Cirments'Tonic to anyone suffering from nervous com-plaints.-—Yours truly, S. C. Rpilly."
