FANNED BY THE WIND, the flames spread north-westerly along the brow of the high ground in the direction of Royal avenue, whose great width only stopped what would have been practically a wiping out of the city.

SIX DOSES WILL CONVINCE THE MOST IND4EDULWUO5 r8+ EDITOR COLWELL, OF PARIS, ONT., REVIEW. Newspaper editors are almost as doctors and other medicines were sceptical as the average physician on the subject of new remedies for sink people. Nothing short of a series of most remarkable and well authenti- cated cures will incline either an editor or a doctor to 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 before 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 aapped of vitality through protraoted spells of sick- ness. During his experience of nearly a quarter 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 puff for his patrons as a matter of business, but in only a single instance, and that one warrant- ed by his own personal experience, has he given e. 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 Tonto. It has never failed in its purpose, and it has cured when Sold by G. A., Deadman. tried in vain. " I was prostrated with a partion- larlysevere attack of ' La Grippe,' " says Mr. Colwell, t. and could find no relief from the intense pains and dim. 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 I took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger every day, Your Nervine Tonic oured me in a single week." The South American Nervine Tonin rebuilds the life forces by its diroot aation 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 concedeth at fully two-thirds of all the physical ailments of humanity arise from exhaustion of the nerve forces. The South American Nervine Tonto acting direct upon the nerve centres and nerve tinea instantaneously supplies them with the true nourish- ment required, and that is why its invigorating effects upon the whole system are always felt immediately. For all nervous diseases, for general debility arising from enfeebled vital. ity, and for stomach troubles of every variety no other remedy can possibly take Ito place. 10,800 WERE SLAUGHTERED FILLED WITH FICTION, It happened in a book store, What can I show you, madam 2 he asked.
