Peterson, El^in-street, West M ait land, N.S.W , writes on August 11th, 1896:— I am pleased to say something in praise of Clements Tonic and Fletcher's Pills. I frequently had pains in my stomach, caused by indigestion. I took a lot of medicine, all to no purpose. Reading one ,of your advertisements, I decided to give Clements Tonic a trial, and bought two large bottles and one box of Dc Fletcher's Pills, and followed the directions and soon felt better ; it is now over six months' since I felt any pain ; I can eat without any inconvenience, and never felt better in my life. — Yours, etc., W. H. Peterson, Elgin.streer, W. Maitland, N.S.W. Dilatorlness on the part of the Chinese Government is delaying the negotiations with England'for a loan.
