Singular but True

*- I It is singular, seeing how much de« pends on good health, ibat a little more pains is not taken to impress on the people a few simple rules for its prcs 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 ol vitality unless well ventilated, not only in tbe 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 tiie chief cause why children of tbe poor look so sickly. It may be said that people have a right to b.e 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 Us approach by such signs as indigestion, headache, neuralgia, tired aching limbs and other well-known symptoms, a course of Clements Tonic will quickly restore the normal health as instanced in tbe case of His Honor Judge Miller, who writes .- — " Court House, Winton, Queens land, June 16, '91. — Last December while travelling from Muttaburra to Winton, I was suddenly seized with 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 1 was completely recovered, and I have much pleasuse io testifying to the bene* ficial effects I experienced from taking it.— Granville George Miller, judge of the Central District Court, Winton."
