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. Firafc, why boys will throw stioks at greeu apples when, if they waited, the apples would ripen and drop off; secondly, I never conld quite comprehend why men go to war to kill each other when, if they remained quietly at home they woald die a natural death in good time; thirdly, and most 'important of all, I do not see why the men ohaae around after the women, since, if they sat still, the women would run around after them." How true that death comes to all men, to some so prematurely, who neglect the warning symptoms of approaching disease, such aa a tired, aching feeling in the morning, headaches and nervousness, sour taste in the mouth, &c. All these are signs that the physical body is deranged, and that if treated lightly, serious, danger is to be apprehended. Alfred, Saunders, Esq., Octagon, Dunedin, says:— Clements Tonic and Fletcher's Pills cured me of nervous debility after I had consulted ten medical' men, and spent i»200 on their fees and medicines. The advertising quacks robbed me altogether. It is disgraceful that the law allows the depredations of theße harpies. I can honeatly recommend Clementß Tonic. It must be good. Mine waa a bad case, as moat of the doctors here can prove. Of course I had to take a long course, but that was to be expected, for I had been terribly humbugged, but I am' at last restored to health and strength solely by Clements Tonic.
