To TIM PIIRENOINE MEDxeLINE Cis„
LTD., OTTAWA, ONT.
GENTLElimi,--on the advise of a
friend I tried one bottle of your fain-
ious rheumatic remedy, Phrenoline,
and to my surprise it cured mise of
rheumatism, from which I have suf-
fered for many years.
It, also cured me of dyspepsia, from
which I was suffering at •the time,
so that I feel now like a new moan.
I have tried several remedies for
rheumatism, some of which did nee a
certain amount of good, but nothing
that I have taken has done so
m nch for me has your Phrenoline, and
I have winch pleasure in recommend-
ing it to other sufferers.

An attempt was made to pass the
Scott Act in Portneuf, Que., but the
result of the polling shows majority

The benefit derived from an adver-
tisement depends altogether upon the
number of persons who read it. To
reach the greatest number of readers
at the least possible expense, is a,
question that should be considered
very carefully by business risen. A
thousand small bills printed in Tor-
onto or London, and distributed in
this section, would be just as effective
as if thehill had been printed in town.
There is not a doubt about that, but if
you want to reach the people in their
homes, newspaper advertising is the
only successful way. To get the best
results use the paper with the largest
circulation, and thegreatest amount of
local news. Circulation is the proper
basis upon which prices should be fixed.
If a newspaper with a circulation of
2,000 charges $100 per year, then one
with a circulation of 000 would be entitl-
ed to $30. An advertiser should take
these facts into easefulconsideration,
when making contracts. Another fre-
quent loss to advertisers is in the use
of several papersI,when one covers the
ground. THE TIMr i is re.I.1.1 more
people in Exeter •' .;,orne, ,Stephen,
Hay, the northern part of Biddulph
and McGillivray than 'ill other county
papers combined, and au advertise-
ment placed in it, \mill be found the
most effectual way in which to reach
the people.
