A Scotchman's Philosophy.
An old Scotchman is said to have risen in prayer-meeting one night and apropos of nothing delivered himself of the following remarks : " There are three things I never could quite understand. First, why boys will throw sticks at green apples when, if they waited, tbe apples wonld ripen and drop off; secondly, I never could quite comprehend why men go to war to kill each other when, if they remained quietly at home they would die a natural death in good time ; thirdly, and most importane of all, I do not see whs the men chase around after the women, since, if they sat still, the women would run around after them." How true tbat death cornea to all men, to some bo permaturely, who neglect the warning symptoms of approaching disease, such as a tired aching feeling iv the morning, headaches and nervousness, sour taste in the mouth, &0., all these are signs that the physical body is deranged, and that if treated lightly, Berious danger is to be apprehended. W. Swanßon, Esq., 70 King William Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, ■ays:— "About three years ago I was seived all of a Budden with great lassisude, dizzinesa and extreme nervousness to great tbat I was unable to rally after any great effort. My digestive organß were so impaired and my liver bo congested that I was scarcely able to eat any solid food, and gradually became so weak that I could barely drag myself along. After using a number of doctor's medicines and advertised remedies to no Surpoße, I started on a course of lements Tonio which brought me great relief, especially when using Dr. * Fletcher's Pills as well. Then I gained weight and strength quickly. I took altogether 12 bottles of Clements Tonic and 4 boxes of Fletcher's Pills, aud my health and vigor increased under their healthful stimulus." Miss Amelia Measb, 471 King Street, Melbourne, writes : — " I have suffered most acutely from neuralgia, so much that my face often Bwelled great and oaused me much - agony. I can truly say tbat Clements Tonic gave me prompt and very great relief." Head office and laboratories, 212 A'Beckeet Street, Melbourne.
