WASTED MONEY.

It is simply wonderful in an enlightened age like the present, how people will waste their money on useless medicines. There are thousands of sufferers in this country from liver torpidity, indigestion, kidney com' plaint, and biliousness, whopayhalf-ciowns for so-called " cures," when they could get far better and safer results from half an ounce of Epsom salts costingonehalf -penny. Of course, we know this chemical will not give permanent results — neither will any of the many advertised nostrums— but it will give temporary relief and not injure the system, whereas the disguised drastic purging mixtures sold by many quacks will cause many serious diseases. Clements' Tonic does not cure or relieve disease by purging. It is a natural tonio restorative, and acts by stimulating the digestive and secretive apparata to perform their proper functions. It rebuilds wasted nerve, bone, and muscular tissue, restores strength to the debilitated system, excites and permanently strengthens the power of concupescence, and ensures a long, happy, and enjoyable life, as proved by the experience of Mr. M. Andrews, Wanganui, N.Z., who writes on September 25th, 1893 :— Dear Sir— l have muoh pleasure in bearing testimony to the advantages of using Clements' Tonic. A few years ago— about seven— l was a great sufferer from a disorder of the liver and kidneys. In the morning I had a most horrible taste in my mouth, and trying pains through my body after partaking of food. After bein" in the doctor's hands for five months and not getting any relief, I was advised by a friend to try Clements' Tonio, which I did, and am glad to say that before I had used the third bottle I was well enough to go back to my usual occupation. Since then I have always kept a bottle in the house, and it is an article, in my opinion, that should be kept in every household. You can please yourself what use you make of this letter. — lam^ yours truly, M. Andrews, Wanganui, N.Z.

George Grossmith hid a fight when he was at school with young Orwin — afterwards Dr. Orwin, of the Throat Hospital— and was severely punished by the future medico. After the fight, Grossmith offered his opponent twopence to declare that the battle had ended in quite a different fashion, and the offer was accepted.
