Singular but True.

« It is singular, seeing how much depend 3 on good health, that a little more pains is not taken to impress on the people a few simple rules for its preservation. Thus, bad drainage is the main cause of typhoid fever, which kills 20,000 people in England yearly. 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 beJroom is a frequent cause of s eeplessneas. Chi dren are especially sufferers from badlyvontilated 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 have, unless they aye an active annoyance and danger to their neighbours. For that reason there is greater logic in proseouting a dirty than a drunken >an Where disease heralds its approach by such signs as indigestion, headache, neura'gia, tired aching limbs, and other well-kiiown symptoms, a course of Clements Tonic will quickly restore the normal health as instanced in the case of J ' is Honor Judge Miller, who wries :— " Court House, Winton, Queensland, June 10, '81.- Last December while travelling from Muttaburra to Winton, I was suddenly seized with a violent attack, of vc miting and diarrhoea. On my arriva lat Winton, Mr Campbell (of Corfield and litzmaurice) persuaded me to take Clenv nts 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 pleasure in testif \ ing to the beneficial effects I experienced from taking it.— Granville George Miller, judge of the Central District Court, Sintou."
