James A. Bell, of Beaverton, Ont,,
brother of tate llev. John lv esiey bell,
B,D., prostrated by nervous headaches
A victim of the trouble for several
years.
South American Nervine effected a
complete .cure.
In their own particular field few men.
are beter known than the Rev. John
Wesley Bell, B.D, and his brother Mr,
James A. Bell. The former will oe re-
cognized by his thousands of friends all
over the country as the popular and able
missionary superintendent of the Royal
Templars of Temperance- among the
20,000 members of this order in Ontario
his counsel is sought on all sorts of or
caucus, Oathe public platform he is one
of the strong man of the day, battling
against the evils of intemperance.
t' qually well known is Mr. Bell in other
provinces of tbe Dominion, having bees
for years a member of the Manitoba
Methodist Conference ail part of this
time was stationed in Winnipeg. His
brother, Afr, Janes A, Bell, is a n'ghly
respected resident of Beaverton, wa':re
his influence, though perhaps more cir-
cumscribed than that of hie eminent
brother is none tbe less effective and
productive of good. Of recent years,lyw-
ever, tbe working alitity of air. James
A. Bell has been eerily marred by severe
attacks of nervous headache, aeeom-
panied byindigestion. Who can do fit
work wen tide double takes hold of
them and especially viten it become,
chronic, as was, seemingly, the mien WWI'
Mr. Bell? The trouble reached each ice
tensity that last June he was complete•
ly prostrated. In thls conditionfriend

divorce among the ancient Jews was
one of the moral diseases which were
eating out the national life. It is 1121-
perative that this great evil should
be antagonized by those who love
Christianity. If all the Sunday
school teachers on this Sundday had
this great truth deep in their hearts,
much good would be done. • What Im-
periled and finally destroyed the
citizenship of the antique world is un-
dermining the oitizenahip and pros-
perity of our own country,.
