' EDITOR COLWELL, OF PARIS, ONT., ;REVIEW. Newspaper editors aro almost as sceptical as the average physician on the subject of new remedies for sick people. Nothing short of a series of most remarkable and well authenti- cated cures will incline either an editor ora doctor +0 seriously consider the merits honestly claimed for a medicine. Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wrought with the Great South American Nervine Tonic were received from men and women all over the country betore physicians began to prescribe this great remedy in chronic cases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sick headache, and as a tonic for build- ing up systems sapped of vitality through protracted spells of sick- ness, During his experience of nearly a qusrter of a century as a newspaper publisher in Paris, Ont., Editor Col- well, of The Paris Review, has pub- lished hundreds of columns of paid medicine advertisements, and, no doubt, printed many a gracefully. worded puts' for his patrons as a natter of business, but in only a single instance, and that one warrant- er) by his own po»sonal experience, has he given a testimonial over his own signature. No other remedy ever offered the public has proved such a marvellous revelation to the most sceptical as the South American Nervine Tonic. It has never failed in tts purpose, and it has cured when Sold by Dead 11 doctors and other medicines were tried in vain. "I was prostrated with a particu- larly severe attack of 'La Grippe,' " says Mr. Colwell, t• and could find no relief from the intense pains and die - tress of the malady. I suffered day and night. The doctors did not help me, and I tried a number of medi- cines, but without relief. About this time I was advised to try the South American Nervine Tonic. Its effects were instantaneous, The first dose! took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger every day. Your Nervine Tonic ourad me in a single week." The South American Nervine Tonic rebuilds the life foroes by its direct action on the nerves and the nerve centres, and it is this notable feature which distinguishes it from every other remedy in existence. The most eminent medical authorities now concedethatfully two-thirds °fall the physical ailments of humanity aria° from exhaustion of the nerve forces. The South .American Nervine Tonic acting direct upon the nerve centres and nerve tissues instantaneously supplies them with the true nourish- ment required, and that is why its invigorating effects upon the whole system are always felt immediately.
