Mr Clements Explains
: Many people have -expressed surprise that Clements Tonic has met with such "wonderful and unprecedented success in such a short --timo,- The explanation is simple~iTiß^QEiNOT»EV' i . il;saw"the''thbusands of /-worthless hogs- will American npstrums floddirig the Australiah market year by-year, month by month, day! by day, andV knew ; thatva great amount of m.o'ney -leftYthese shore*; annually in ■rctnrn for; these;" rubbishyl, articles, all of which made tKe country so much the poorer., ralsp/knew that the exigencies of ,Hfe. in .this- country arid the cli« B'al^vn^cSssitatpd/"'''^^'^'^^ of. arti--ficiai'; b]o6amak'er- J to : restore' 'the nor-, -trial coriditibn^and vital^.fprces which "were so enervated by climatic and other influences.

Fellow Australians, we don't --- wont the Yankee 1 quack to dump his - -«hip-loads of.iclaptrap fooleries and -^cure alls ""on our ' Australian shores, and fool us on witn his smooth tongue and ■ "plausible humbug ; neither, do we want ' him to siick the vitality and marrow out • -of our people with his consignments of ■ -chemical which with specious ' '_ "plausibility, he guarantees to cure everything from 'epilepsy to impecuniosity. We want a genuine' 'article, made in our ■own" land, by oiir own people, bought with our own money ; then the money ... remains in our own country, and the country is so much the richer thereby . and we all have a chance of handling it : . -again ;' whereas, if it once gets into the rapacious maw of the Yankee quack, farewell] it is gone for ever. I know my article is genuine, and that it con- ' i;ains the material to make it cure disease ;. "where f disease is curable. You may de* % j)end upon it that if Clements Tonic - fails all others-must fail. I can produce I of proofs of the truth of my - «tateinelits arid the" virtues of ray remedy 3?. 3VL Clements^ Newtown, N.S.W.
