Advice to Young Women. 



" In order to investigate one- 

 self," says Ruskin, " it is well to 

 find out what one is now. Don't 

 think vaguely about it. Take pen 

 and paper, and write down as 

 accurate a description of yourself 

 as is possible, and if von dare* not, 

 find out why you dare not, and 

 try and get strength of heart 



" I WAS ILL 



WITH 



INDIGESTION 



AND 



NERVE-BREAKDOWN 



I am now blessed with 

 splendid health, through 

 using your medicine, 



CLEMENTS 



TONIC" 



A grateful letter written by Mrs. 

 MARY KVANDER, Dale Street, 

 /ort Adelaide, S.A , 11/10/12. She 

 ;;ratcfully tells her story 



CLEMENTS TONIC LTD. 



• ' Your medicine has done for me 

 what others have failed to do. I wa» 

 a sceptic. 1 was ill with Indigestion 

 and Nervous Break-down for 18 

 months ; and was glad when it all 

 ended, and the bright side of life 

 came to me once more. The pains 

 and aches from Indigestion, Broken 

 Rest and Melancholia, were fearful. 

 I could not have stood it much longer. 

 BUT DURING THIS LAST EIGHT 

 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN BLESSED 

 WITH SPLENDID HEALTH, AND I 

 AM FULL OF GRATITUDE FOR 

 THE BENEFITS I HAVE RECEIVED 

 FROM YOUR GRAND MEDICINE, 

 CLEMENTS TONIC, 

 WHICH CURED ME. 

 (Signed) Mrs. MARY RYANDER." 



Always keep this medicine at home. 

 It is a bk'»siii({ in dis«uise. It ha>i«o 

 tqual in s<:\'crc case-, of Indigestion, 

 llroken Rest or I^ow Spirits. It pro- 

 moles Appetite, It gives Strength. 



All Chemists & Stores sell it. 

 Get it and Get well. 



enough to lot)k vour.self in the face, 

 mind as well as body. 



Always haVe two mirrors on 

 vour dressing table, and, \vith pro- 

 per care, dress mind and body at 

 the same time. Put your best in- 

 telligence to finding out wha,t you 

 are good for, and what you can be 

 made into. The mere resolve not 

 to be useless, and the honest de- 

 sire to help other people, will, in 

 the quickest and most delicate 

 way, help to improve oneself. 



All accomplishments should be 

 considered as means of assisting 

 others. In music, get the voice 

 disciplined and clear, and ' think 

 onlv of accuracy ; exnression and 

 effect will take care of themselves. 

 So in drawing, learn to set down 

 the right shape of anything and 

 therebv exnlJiin it^ -:,rter to 



another person ; but if you try 

 onlv to make showy drawing , for 

 praise, or pretty ones for amuse- 

 ment, vour drawinor will have lit- 

 tle or -no interest for vou, and no 

 educational power. 



Re.s'olve to do each day some- 

 thing useful in the vulgar "^ense. 

 Tyearn the economy of the kitchen, 

 the good and bad qualities of 

 every common article of food, and 

 the simplest and best modes of 

 preparation. 



One should at the end of every 

 day be able to sav, as proudly as ' 

 any -peasant, that she has not 

 eaten the bread of idleness. 



Get quit of the absurd idea 

 that heaven will interfere to cor- 

 rect great errors, while allowing 

 its laws to take their own course 

 in punishing small ones. If food 

 is careles.sly prepared, no one ex- 

 pects Providence to make it palat- 

 able ; neither, after, yeacs of folly 

 can vou expect Divine interference 

 to bring round everything at last 

 for the be.st. : T tell" vou nnsitively, 

 the world is not so constituted. 



The con.secniences of pTeat mis- 

 takes are just as sure as tho.se of 

 small ones ; and the h'-mpiness of 

 vour whole lif". ^"-^ all the lives 

 over which you have power, de- 

 'pcnds as literally on your common 

 sen.se and discretion as do the ex- 

 cellence and order of a dav."

Tomatoes are most helpful to the 

 system when eaten raw, 'as the 

 volatile oil they contain is dissi- 

 pated by the heat of cooking. 

 Green vegetables, such as spinach 

 and cabbage, are invaluable as me- 

 dicinal articles of dictv as theyi pos- 

 sess blood-purifyinp- properties, and 

 act indirectly on the liver. 



Money an Indicator of 

 Character. 



Perhaps there is nothing else 

 which reveals one's real character 

 like money or the lack, of it. The ] 

 moment a voung person begins to 

 get money, he .shows his true metal 

 ijv the wav he uses it — by the 

 way he sav-es it or by the manner 

 in which he spends it. 



Many is a great revealer of per- 

 sonal history. It brings out all 

 one's weaknesses. It indicatesi his 

 wise or foolish spending, or wise 

 or foolish sa-ving ; it reveals his 

 real character. 



If vou should give a thousand 

 pounds to each member 'of the 

 community, and could follow each 

 in disposing of it, without know- . 

 ing anything else about him, vou 

 could get a pretty good idea of 

 his probable future, and .judge 

 whether he will be successful or 

 will fail, whether he will be a 

 man of character and standing, or 

 the reverse. 



One boy would see in the thou- 

 sand pounds a college educa- 

 tion for himself or for a crippled 

 or otherwise handicapped brother 

 or sister. Another would see in 

 money a "good time " with vici- 

 ous companions. 



To one the money would mean 

 a- chance to start a little business 

 of his~ oiv n — A n oth er would de- 

 posit it in a savings bank. 



A poor girl would see, in her 

 money a dear old miather's com- 

 fort or that of a dependant bro- 

 ther or sister. 



In no two instances would the 

 money mean the same, perhaps, or 

 develop the same traits of charac- 

 ter. 



To one it would mean nothing 

 but selfishness, to another an op 

 portunity to help ottiers. To one 

 , it would mean a chance to secure 

 precious, long-coveted books, con 

 stituting a fine library. To an- 

 other it would suggest a home of. 

 his own. 



To the boy who is naturally sel 

 fish, hard, grasping, mean, and 

 stingy, the makiu"- of money simp 

 Iv emphasises his characteristic 

 It makes a small man smaller, 

 hard man harder, a mean ma 

 meaner. A boy who is naturally 

 grasping and mean, if he' wishe 

 to be a power in the world,' mus 

 discipline himself by systematicall 

 helping others, in some way, o
