IsiR, FRANK IGAUER, BERLIN, ONT,
Perhaps you know him 7 In Water-
loo he is known as one of the most
popular and successful business men of
that enterprising town. As ,manag-
ing executor 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 a full half century of
active 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 sick man.
r Mt. Clemens," he continued, "was
the last resort in my case. 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.as getting weaker, and began losing
flesh and strength rapidly. My
stomach refused to retain food of any
kind. During all this time I was
under medical treatment, and tools
everything prescribed, but without
relief. Just about when my condition
Sold by G.
seemed most hopeless, I heard of it
wonderful cure effected in a ease
somewhat similar to mine, by the
Great South AmericanNervine Tonic,
and I finally tried that. On thefirst
day of its use I began to feel that it
was doing what no other medioine
had done. The first dose relieved the
distress completely. Before night I
actually felt hungry and ate with an -
appetite such as I had not known for
months, I began to piok up in
strength with surprising rapidity,
slept well nights, and before I knew
it I was eating three square meals
regularly every day, with as much
relish as ever. I have no hesitation
whatever in saying that the South
American Nervine Tonic oured me
when all other remedies failed. I
have recovered my old weight—over
200 pounds—and never felt better
in my life."
Mr. Frank Baner's experience is
that of all others who have used the
South Amerioan Nervine Tonio. Ito
instantaneous action in relieving die- -
tress and pain is due to the direct
effect of this great remedy upon the
nerve centres, whose fagged vitality
is energized instantly by the very first -
dose. Itis a great, a wondrous cure -
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 once, on the very first day of its
nee.
