THE TRUE PROTECTION.

Nowadays the fiscal policy is always a prominent plank in the platform of every politician, yet is it a wise policy on C,_e part of the consumers to place a tax on the articles which they do not make bnt only consume ? Suppose, for instance, the toms duty is 33 per cent on imported goods, the wages of tho labourer in all grades of employment in a country thus protected, should be 33 per cent higher than in a freetrade country, to make things equal—but, is it ever the case ? True protectioD, like charity, begins at home, and in these days when the air is laden with microbes, bncterw and other germa of disease, it behoves us all to be on guard againta the oommon enemy ; o'd age kills but few, dieease slays its thousands and millions, and all because mankind is ao apathetic and careless about first signs of approaching sickness. Neuralgia is one of the most positive signs of approach of some physical affliction, and requires immediate attention, before it has progressed beyond human aid and fatal disease has got hold of some vital organ. S. C. Reilly, Esq., writes, under date June Ist. 1891, from Garner's Avenue, 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 and a great sufferer from neuralgia and general debility, and anyone who has ever been afflicted with such nervous misery can form an idea of what I have suffered. I had also chronic indigestion, general languid feelings, and an utter dislike to exert myself. The neuralgia was so severe that I have paced the ball all night, and the agony was so excruciating that I was almost out of my mind. I tried all so-called remedies, also galvanic treatment, which did no good. At last a friend recommended Clement's Tonic, and I was so 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 had disappeared, and I was free from the nervooß terror. I continued Clements Tonic, and have taken four bottles ; all my languor is gone, I am free from indigestion, I can do a day's work with any man, and eat like a horse ; and have great pleasure in recommending Clements' Tonic to anyone suffering from nervoua complaints.—Yours truly. S. C. Reilly."
