It was a serious misfortune to a work- ing man, and it was decided to open up the arm and explore, with the re - Salt, as first surmised, that the nerve was found to be partially divided. , Two fresh ends were made, and a live rab- bit having been obtained, it wasren• dered unconscious, skinned, and the two sciatic neryes were extracted and stitched to the two ends of the diyided nerve in the man's arm," The .wound was then stitched up, and the patient placed in bed It is now some •weeks since the operation, antithe result is most fayorable, The man his perfect power in the right arm, which is rapid ly regaining the original bulk and he 18 now able to follow his employment. queen's birthday.

There is much more in advertising than you. may think. It is not only to tell of his goods that a man advertises, but is to invite the people who read -the think ing the intelligent—to pay him a visit and judge for themselves as to the quality and price of what he offers for sale. .People read the advertisements. Don't make any mistake about that They are just as much interested in knowing where to buy to an advant- age as the advertiser is in selling his ,Foods.
