Singular but True

It is singular, seeing how much depends on good health, that a little more pains is not taken to impress on the people a few simple rules for its pre* servation. Thus bad drainage is the main cause of typhoid fever, which kills 20,000 people in England yeaily. Small and low bed-rooms engender consumption and loss of vitality unless well ventilated, not only in the day-time but at night. An ill ventilated bedroom is a frequent cause of sleeplessness. Children are especially sufferers from badly ventilated bedrooms. That is the chief cause why children of the poor look so sickly. It may be said that people have a right to be filthy. So they haye, unless they are an active annoyance and danger to their neighbours. For that reason there is greater logic in prosecuting a dirty than a drunken man. Where disease heralds its approach by such signs as indigestion, headache, neuralgia, tired aching limbs and other welKkuown symptoms, a course of Clements Tonic will quickly restore the normal health as instanced in the case of His Honor Judge Miller, who writes :— " Court House, Winlon, Queens land, June 16, '91.— Last December while travelling from Muftaburra to Win ton, I was suddenly seized wilh a violent attack of vomiting and diarrhoea. On the arrival at Winton, Mr Campbell (of Corfield and Fitzmaurice) persuaded me to take Clements Tonic ; one dose relieved me, I continued to take it for two days, at the expiration of which I was completely recovered, and I. have much pleasuse io testifying to the beneficial effects I experienced from taking it.— Granyille George Miller, judge of the Central District Courfc, Winton."
