"IMITATION is the
SINCEREBT FLATTERY. The articles most imitated arcf CLEMENTS TONIC and FLETCHER'S PILLS. WHY? BECAUSE they have the best repuraHon, and are most in demand by the public ; consequently every dishonest trader tries to trade oa their fame and renown. 16 Is really wonderful that the Australian public are so slow to see the truth as regards the unscrupulous quacks and charlatans who prey on the credulity of the Australian public.
