CLEMENTS TONIO has • record of cures none can rival. Hundreds of base substitutes come on the market, the plausible advertiiing resorted to attracts the attention of the thoughtlew and unwary, and they have a sale for a year or two till they are found out. For a medicine to remain popular for the number of years Clements Tonic has, it must have exceptional merit. The Australian public is too well educated and too discriminating to be gulled for long even by clever, if false advertisements, and that is the reason all the quack nostrums run to the length of their tether in less than four yean in this country Ulcment9 Tonio has been the leader for tea.
