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 could never quite understand. First, why boys 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 mortal death in good time ; thirdly, and most important of all, I rio 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 aohing feeling in the morning, headaeheß and nervousness, sour taste in the mouth, &<s., all these are signs that the physical body is deranged and that if treated lightly, serious danger is (o be apprehended. W. Swansou, Esq., 70 King William -street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, says : "About throe 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 myself along. After using a number of doctors medicines and advertised remedies to uo purpose, I started on a course of Clements 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 aoutely from neuralgia, so much that my face often swelled great and caused me much agony. I oan truly say that Clements Tonic gave me prompt and very great relief." Head office and laboratories, 212 A'Beckett-street, Melbourne.
