THE AUSTRALIAN'S RECKLESSNESS.

Tho Englishman and the Scotchman, and especially the latter, have much to aay, in and out of season, about the recklessness of the Australian, tho ease with which ho throws aside work for play, and his general improvidence h specially against the bush ustralian do they level the accusation that lie is, with few exception!, a periodical drunkard ; that he can never earn a cheque without i tcli ing to spend it ; and that improvidence begins and ends in him. To judge superficially as the old worlders have done without any knowledge or appreciation of Australian conditions, all the foregoing charges are true But treat the subject intelligently and you find the Australian is just the reverao. All thit is wrong with him is dyspepsia at the beginning, and later on nggiavdlcd kidney diseases. The menu of the bush is unvarying, which is in itself a bad tiling, and of poor quality, which it very much worse. Damper ro the writer, and such damper as he used to make, ia a tub* stance constituted mainly of flour, water, bicarbonate of soda if you have it, no bicarbonate of soda if you haven't any, a little salt and a large fire. Six months of auch a diet finds the buahman surcharged with bile ; his stomach coated with the tannin of the unapeakable tea ; his throat caked with the aoot of sheep-wash tobacco ; then he geta his oheque and winds up at the shanty. We have numberless instance! of buah dyspepsia and fever having been completely ou rod by a few doses of the Cure. It gcntlj stimulates the jaded system, and reorganises the disorganised functions. Warner'* Safe Cure is ihe one bush medicine.
