ages are apparent to both countries. A

United States, can have become a first-

have adopted the potiey of free trade,
it might not be worth her while to
undertake the responsibilities of an al-

a position to enforce her demands,

MR. FRANK MAUER, BERLIN, ONT,
Perhaps yon know him ? In Water-
loo he is known as one of the most
popular and successful business men of
that enterprising town. As ...snag-
ing exsoutor of the Kuntz estate, he is
at the head of a vast business, repre-
senting an investment of many thous-
ands of dollars, and known to many
people throughout the Province.
Solid financially, Mr, Frank Bauer
also has the good fortune of enjoying
solid good health, and if appearances
indicate anything, it is safe to predict
that there's to full half oentury of
eotive life still ahead for him. But
it's only a few months since, while
nursed as an invalid at the Mt.
Clemens sanitary resort, when his
friends in Waterloo were dismayed
with a report that he was at the point
of death
" There's no telling where I would
have been had I kept on the old treat-
ment," said Mr. Bauer, with a merry
laugh, the other day, while recounting
his experiences as a very siok man.
" Mt. Clemens," he continued, " was
the lest resort in my ease. For
months previous I had been suffering
indescribable tortures. I began with
a loss of appetite and sleepless nights.
Then, as the trouble kept growing, I
w,os getting weaker, and began losing
flesh and strength rapidly. My
stomach refused to retain food of any
kind. During all this time I was
ander medical treatment, and took
everything prescribed, but without
relief. Just about when my condition
seemed most hopeless'I heard of a
wonderful cure effected in a moo
somewhat similar to mine, by the
Groat South AmericanNervine Tonic,
and I finally tried that. On thefirst
day of its nee I began to feel that it
471413 doing what no other methane
had done. The Brat dose relieved bhp
distress completely. Before night I
aaeually felt hungry and ate with an
appetite such as I had not known for
months. I bean to pick up in
strength with surprising rapidity,
slept well nights, and before I know
it I was eating three square meals
regularly every day, witre as much
relish as ever. I have no hesitation
whatever in saying that the South
American Nervine Tonic cured Inc
when all other remedies failed. I
have recovered my old weight -over
200 ponnds-and never fhlt better
in my life,"
Mr. Frank Batter's experience is
that of all others who have used the
South American Nervine Tonic. Its
instantaneous action in relieving dis-
tress and pain is due to the climot
effect of this great remedy upon the
nerve centres, whose fagged vitality
is energized instantly by the vary first
dose. It is a great, a wondrous mire
for all nervous diseases, as well as
indigestion and dyspepsia. It goes
to the real source of trouble direct,
and the sick always feel its marvel-
lous sustaining and restorative power
at onoe, on the very first day of ibtt
use,
