“ IMITATION is the SINCEREST FLATTERY.” The articles most imitated are CLEMENTS TONIC and FLETCHER'S PILLS. WHY? BECAUSE they have the best reputation and are most in demand by the public, consequently every dishonest trader tries to trade on their fame and renown. It is really wonderful that the Australian people are so slow to see the truth as regard the unscrupulous quacks and charlatans who prey ou the credulity of the Australian public. Scarcely a week ever passes but what the press exposes the barefaced and shameful practices of some of these harpies, yet,,in face of all they seem to thrive, and the paper who hounds most thrives fattest on their advertisements and cracks champagne over each balance-sheet. Clements Tonic and Fletcher’s Pills have never yet stooped to deception and misrepresentation. They are scientific therapeutical agents, and evidence as to their value can be found in every district, and such being the cast it is unnecessary to further extol their virtues.
