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 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 otber when, if they remained quietly at home they would die a natural death in good time ; thirdly, and most important of all, I do not see why the men chase around after the women, since, if they sat still, the women would run after them.” How true that death comes to all men, to some prematurely, who neglect the warning symptoms of approaching disease, such as a tired aching feeling in the morning, headaches an I nerv - ousness, 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 Alfred Saunders, Esq., Octagon, Dunedin, says: Clements Tonic and Fletcher’s Pills cured me of nervous debility after I had consulted ten medical men, and spent £2OO on their fees and medicines. The advertising quacks robbed me altogether. It is disgraceful that the law allows the depredations of these harpies. I can honestly recommend Clements Tonic. It must be good. Mine was a bad case, as most of the doctors here can prove. Of course I had to take a long course, but tbat was to be expected, for I had been terribly humbugged, but I am at last restored to health and strength solely by Clements Tonic.
