A Scotchman's Philosophy.
Ah old Bcotehraan Is said to have risen In prayer-meeting one tiight atid aprojrJos of HoWiH^ delivered hiniself of the .folldtfing vemai'ksi " There are tlir'ee^tHlrigs I could never <juite understand. First, why boys will throw sticks at green apples when, if.tlvj waited, the apples would rip.en and ilrojb oit ', secondly, I never could (luite cbniprellend why men go to war to kill each other when, if they rfe'riiaiiiett quietly at home they wouJd die a mortal death in good time ; thirdly, and most impoitant of all, I do not see why the men chase around after the women, since, if they sat still, the women would run around after them." How true that death comes to all men, to some so prematurely, who neglect the warning symptoms of approaching 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 apprehended. \V. Swanson, Esq., 70 King William-street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, says : " About three years ago I was seized all of a sudden with great lassitude, dizziness and extreme nervousness m great that I was unable to rally alter 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 myself along. After using a number of doctors medicines and advertised remedies to no purpose, I started on a course of Clementa Tonic which brought me great relief, especially when using Dr Fletcher's Pills as well. Then I gained weight and strength quickly. I took altogether 12 bottles of Clements Tonic and 4 boxes of Fletcher's Pills, and my health and vigor increased under their healthful stimulus." Miss Amelia Mensh, 471 King-street, Melbourne, writes : " I have suffered most acutely from neuralgia, so much that my face often swelled great and caused me much agony. I can truly say that Clements Tonic gave me prompt and very great relief." Head office and laboratories, 212 A'Beckett-strect, Melbourne.
