A DO G'S WISDOM

A faithful dog, the property of a medical man (Dr C ), wu in the babit every night at 10 o'clock of coming to hie master to tell him it was time to retire to rest. Dr C's brother suggested that the clock should be stopped, in order to know how the dog knew the hour. The animal appeared very restlera when the clock should have struck. He ran to his master, tapped him oa tbe knee, and would not be satisfied till be followed him to the clock to be convinced that all was not right. The dog was accustomed to go round the house ia tbe evening to ascertain that every place was properly secured. A window Bhutter was purposely left unclosed in order to test tbe accuracy of his eye. The faithful animal passed the whole of tha nigbt in that room, evidently for the purpose of guarding it. When his master was confined to his bed for some time with a severe 111nes 11 , the attached dog refused to eat, and at length the doctor tv obliged to get op and appear wel), lost the dog should be starred to death. How many people have the wisdom of this dog f He knew tbe danger, but mankind rarely pay attention to the early Bymptoms of disease, headaches, neuralgia, and that tired feeiing is neglected till serious disease lets in, such carelessness is criminal, and leads to such results »s that experienced by Mrs J. Bruce, 4 Victoria Terrace, Prymont Bridge road, Glebe, New South Wales, who writes :— For tbe last forty years 1 have suffered ' excruciating agony with toothache, bilious headach 1 , indigestion, etc, Although having a sound set of teeth I have had toothache for a fortnight at a time. I could not touch solid food ; the only nourishment I conld get was through taking beef tea, e'e, and racking it through a straw, I could not pet, up till late in tbe diy, and then it was enly for a short time, and I had to lie down again. As for trying to do my domestic duties, it was simply aa impossibility; it even seemed too great a trouble for me to drees myself, so languid and ill I felt. A short time ago I was persuaded to take Clements' Tonic. The effect was miraculous ; the toothache, imdache, and tired feeling disappeared after taking a couple.of bottles. Now I do all my house work, although over sixty years old, and work seems a pleasure. I advise everyone that suffers as 1 did to take it, as it certainly cared me; and I cannot thank the proprietor enough for the benefit I derived from it. — I am, yours gratefully, Mrs J.
