AN IMPORTANT THEATRICAL ASSERTION. Mr. Edward Branscombe, the wellknown Theatrical and Musical Entrepreneur, to whom Australia and New Zealand are indebted for the ■visits of the Westminster Glee Singers, Sousa's Band, and the famous Russian Instrumentalists, the Cherniavskys. He was also the originator and producer of The Scarlet Troubadours, the first Costume Comedy Company to visit this country, as well as the numerous companies of Dandies which have been performing in Australasia for the past seven years, writes in praise of Clements Tonic. His opinion, published below, is worth reading.
The Garden Theatre, Bayswater-road, Sydney. TO CLEMENTS TONIC, LTD. "As a consistent user of Clements Tonic for the past nine years, I testify, through my own personal experiences, to its undoubted efficacy. "The mental and nervous strain associated with all theatrical and musical touring work is an ever present source of trouble to those so engaged, and I have been no exception to this rule. "Particularly was this the case during the tours of Sousa's Band and The Westminster Glee Singers, the latter alone extending over an uninterrupted period of two years, and. involving, a constant demand on the nervous system. . "This demand was always unfailingly met by a course of Clements Tonic, and there is no gainsaying the . practical benefits I have derived from its use. "If further testimony were needed I could add that my opinion is strongly substantiated by similar experiences on the part of the many friends to whom I have recommended this excellent remedy. "(Signed) EDWARD BRANSCOMBE." Beyond question the medicine for the Theatrical Profession, for those specially engaged in brain-work and who suffer from brain-fag, loss of sleep, nervousness, and poor appetite. Clements Tonic should be a stand-by medicine for all theatrical people. All Chemists and Stores sell it. —Advt.
