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. First, why bojs will throw sticks at green apples when, if they waited, the apples would ripen and drop off. ; secondly, I never could quite comprehend why men go to war to kill each other when, if they remained quietly at home they would die a natural death in good time; thirdly, and most important of all Ido not see why the men chase around after the women, since, if they sat still, the women would ran around after them." How true that death comes to all men, to some so prematurely, who neglect the warning symptoms of ap« proaching disease, such as 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 appre* hended. W. Swanson, Esq., 70 King "William -street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, says : " About 3 years ago I was seized all of a sudden with great lassitude, dizziness and extreme nervousness so great that I was unable to rally after any effort, My digestive organs were so impaired and my liver so congested that I was scarcely able to eat any solid food, and gradually became so weak that I could barely drag mysely along. After using a number of doctors' medicines and advertised remedies to no purpose, J started on a course of Clements Tonic which bi ought me great relief, aspecially when using Dr Fletcher's Pills as well Then 1 gained weight and stiength quickly I took altogether 13 bottles of Clements T- me and 4 boxes of Fletcher's Pills and m\ health and yigor increased under their healthful stimulus " Aiss Amelia JVlensn, 471 King street, Melbourne, h tes : "I have suffered most acutely from neuralgia, so much that my face Mm swelled great and caused me much a• ny I can truly say that Clements i onie gave me prompt and very great n.ief.
