be because the men considered their
own needs first, Finally I came upon

also has the good fortune of enjoying
solid good health, and if appearances
indicate anybhing, it ie 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.
0letnons sanitary resort, when his
friends in Waterloo were dismayed
with a report that he was at the point
of death
11 There's no telling where I would

Was getting weaker, and began losing
flesh and strength rapidly. My
stomach refused to retain food of any
kind. Daring all this time I was
under medical treatment, and tarok
everything prescribed, but without

Tint about when my condition
seemed most hopeless, I heard of e,
wonderful cure effected in a case
somewhat similar • to mine, by the
Great South American Nervine Tonic,
and I finally tried that. On the first
day of its use I began to fuel that it
was doing what no other medicine
had done. The first does 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 pick 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 cured me
when all other remedies failed. I
have recovered my old weight—over
500 ponncls—and never felt better
in my life."
Mr, Frank Bauer's experience is
that of all others who have used the
South American Nervine Toni., Its

tress and pain it; due to the direct
effect of this treat remedy upon the
