FLETCHER'S PILLS

never fail to cure INDIGESTION, COSTIVENESS, SOUE BREATH, HEARTBUKN, LIVER DISEASE, and KIDNEY COMPLAINTS, FLETCHER'S PILLS and CLEMENTS TONIC are the recognised household remedies of the Australian colonies, and every deafening quack tries t« trade on then-reputation and renown. This is the greatest proof of their merit, and sufferers want to bepartioalar to get the genuine articles as regret and disappointment an sine to follow the use of tha thousands of •• All-failing" remedies m freely advertised. The reputation and widespread use of Clement's Tonic and Fletoher'f Pills are the greatest proof g of their mnoV tion by the public. H they were notaTw. presented they would have passed out of memory long ere this; but instead their sale is greater and they are awe esteemed day by day and week by week, and this emphatically proves their undisputed supremacy.

Likewise with the discovery of a cheap and practical method of extracting aluminium. From the beginning of history every clay bank on the earth has offeied an unlimited supply of this wonderful metal, which has long been predicted aa the successor of iron and steel, but still these vast resources re- •„ „i,n naf mi+mwTiarl Atifl an if mam almost untouched. And so it may be with the generation oi electricity direct from carbon and oxygen, The steps of science are so dazzfingly brilliant and so disappointingly uucertain that, though we will ever be progressing inane direction or another, we may not solve the secret ot the aluminium compounds and carbonplus oxygen for a century to come; so that the iron foundries and the preay iiwi - o . . r sent method of generating electricity may still be in the van even a hundred years hence. Present indications, however, point to no such backwardness in the electrical field. Public v *• -,a fivcf rli-QWK fn fK« attention was first di awn to the !'' philosopher's stone ot electricity by a paper which Captain Blanch Brain wrote for the South Wales Mining Engineers in 1882, in which the writer remarked:"It appears to me probable that tbe practical advance of the science duriug the next two or three years will enable us to lav hold of the "electric equiva- , , , J. .i v* *p~- * v lent due to the combination of carbon or some hydro-carbon with oxygen, With our present rate of progress, and the direction development is taking, xi • *. v« «,„ ny anmat'hinrr this must be the result, oi something equal to it, and, if bo, we may expect to completely revolutionise the present methods of evolving energy and apBlvinff power." That paper was pubpyiug jjuwci.. m/.lL™ cMitonmi lished in 1883, and the above sentence was widely quoted m America, the President of one of the great electrical inatihitaq rallinff unon all the electriinstitutes calling upon uuiiie« wmi cians of the States to concentrate then attack on this particular point. 1 0 fully explain the position, we revert, again to Oapt.
