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 the park of the consumers to place a tax on the articles which they do not make but only consume ? Suppose, for instance, the customs duty is 33 per cent, on imported goods, the wages of the labnret in all grades of employment in a country thus protected, should he 33 per cent, higher than in a freetrade country, to make 'hings equal — but, is it ever the case? True promotion, like charity, begins at home, and in these days when the air is laden with miorobes, bacteria and other germs of disease, it behoves us all to be on our guard against the common enemy ; old age kills but few, disease slays its thousands and mil ions, and all because mankind is so apathetic and careless ahont first signs of approaching sickness. Kenralgia is one of the most positive signs of the approach of nome physioal affliction, and requires immediate attention, before it haa progressed beyond human aid and fatal diaense has got hold of some vital organ. S. C. Keilly, E«q., writes, under date June Ist, 1891, from Garner's Avenue, Mirriokville, N.S.W. : "I can with cod. ftdence bear testimony to tbn 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 oan form an idea of what I have suffered. I bad also obronio indigestion, general lan* quid feelings and an utter dislike to exert myself. The neuralgia was so severe that I have paced the hall 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 Clemen ts Tonio, and I was bo miserable and disheartened that I purchased a small bottle, and after the second dose felt great relief. I continued its use and am thankful to say that after twentyfour hours the pain had disappeared, and I was free from the nervous terror I continued Clements Tonio and have taken four bottle? ; all my lanponr is gone, lam free from indices ion, 1 oan do a day's work wi'h any man, and eat like a horse ; and have great pleasure in recommending Clemen's Tonio to any one suffering from nervous complaints. —Yours truly, S. C. Railly."
