WHO DISCOVERED AMERICA?

This question will, perhaps, never be answered. True, the year 1893 should see some celebrations in honour of tbe 400 h anniversary of tbe discovery of America by Columbus, but there are those who believe, and for good reasons, too, that this country was known 500 or 1,000 years before Christopher the Navigator was born. Chinese-Buddhist monks are known to have settled in Mexico in the fifth century of oar era, and bt Brendan, the Irishman, visited some identified spot on our continent abaut 100 yea' s later. We have all proof tbat is needed of Leif Ericson's visit to Vinland (coast of New England) in the year 1000. Ericson'a settlement flourished for more than 100 years before being dually abandoned on account of internal dissensions. Madoc Prince of Wales, is «ail to have landed on '• a great continent to the West" in 1170 Take nil this into consideration, and then answer: Who discovered Clements' Tonic? And reply, Mr Clements. Wnat is it good for? £ very kind of diseare caused by a weakened state of the system. Clements' Tooie ia a food — not a physic. It c mtain? in an elegant combination every constituent of the corporeal structure ; it forms fl-sb, bone, and musclf, cures neuralgia, nervousness, and all nerve and brain diseases Indigestion, sour stomach, and all dysppptia troubles. An infallible remedy for livsr complaint and all kidney diseases. Its efficacy it proved, every paper teems wi'h evidence of its virtues, similar to that of Mr C. J Wilßon, timekeeper, Merewether Junction, Newcastle, New South Walee, who writes on January 14;h, 1893 : — I have very much pleasure in contributing my small testimony as to the great benefits resulting from a course of Clements' Tonic. I have been a great sufferer for many yeaTs from liver complaint in one form or another. Some of the faculty treated me for rheumatism and neuralgia, but I never received any permanent benefit from them. About three years ago I bought a large bottle of Clements' Tonic, and was surprised at tb« improvement I experienced from it, in fact, tbe symptoms from which I suffered disappeared as if by magic, and in a short time I felt quite a diff rent man. I have been taking it ever since (tbat is as often as I can nffjrd to get it). lam only sorry that I did not know of its wonderful cura'ive powers years ago. If anyb )dy has ever benefited by takiug Clements' Toaic I am a living wi'ness as to its virtues. It has performed a cure where all other remedies failed. I forgot to stae above that I have taken it in conjunction with Dr Fletcher's Pills. I recommend it to my friends, and shall continue to do bo. — Your*, etc, C. J.
