to distribute mail matter in reties by
means of the electric railways. The

ably be utilised after next session. By
paying an additional amount a letter
can be mailed later than the adver-
tised. time of oloeing. By adding an
extra stamp a letter can be mailed
say a half hour later than the time the
regular mail closed, At all railway
stations a "lute box" will be provided
for extra stamped letters, SO that five
minutes before the train starts the box
wilt be cleared.
A. system of insurance for letters
containing money valuables will also
be adopted, This is a feature in other

her life can be saved.
a During the time she has been afflict-
. ed she has eaten books, newspapers,
d shoemaker's wax, starch, and other
things , and Monday she devoured a
O pound of roasted coffee. The first
symptoms of the development of the
. ailment came while she was reading.
s First she began tearing corners off the
s pages of a book, and finally she ate
s entire pages from a book after she had
s read them, so that by the time site fin-
ished the story little but the covers
was left. in five weeks she read
d twelve novels, and ate every one of
them. She was employed in a shoe
factory, and it was not uncommon for
her to get possession of a quantity of
wax and eat it with apparent relish.
Her consumption of laundry starch
was only limited by the .su.pply. The
climax oams an IVIonday, when she dis-
posed of about a pound of coffee. After
this she became so ill that physioians
were called in.
The young woman is not insane. Up

Cures Wrought by South American Nervine Tonic,
SIX DOSES WILL CHYME THE MOST INOADULOK
COLWELL, OF PARIS, ONT„ IlL'VIEW.
Newspaper editors are almost as
seeptioal 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 or a doctor to seriously consider
the merits honestly olaimed for
medicine.
Hundreds of testimonials of won-
derful recoveries wrought with the
Great Son th Amerioan Nervine Tonic
were received from men andrwomen
all over the country before physicians
began to presoribe this great remedy
in chronic oases of dyspepsia, in-
digestion, nervous prostration, sick
headache, and as a tonio for build-
ing up systems sapped of vitality

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-

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,
hall he given a testimonial over his
own signature. No other remedy
ever offered the public has proved
suoh a marvellous revelation to the
moat sceptical as the South American
Nervine Tonic. It has never failed
in Its purpose, and it has cured when
doctors and other medicines awe
tried in vain.

larly severe attaok of ' La Grippe,' "
says Mr. Colwell, " and oould find no
relief from the intense pains and dia.
tress of the malady. I suffered day
and night. The doctors did not help
me, and I tried a number of medi.
eines, but without relief. About this
time I was advised to try the South
American Nervine Tonio. Its effects
were instantaneoue, The first dose I
took relieved me. I improved rapidly
and grew stronger every day. Yen:
Nervine Tonic oured me in a single
week."
The South American Nervine
Tonic rebuilds the life forces by ita
direct action on the nerves and the
nerve centres, and it is this notable
feature which distinguishes it froin
every other remedy in existence. The
most eminent medical authorities now
concede tha t fully two-thirds of all the
physical ailments of humanity arias
from exhaustion of the nerve forces.
The South American Nervine Tonie
acting direct upon the nerve centres
and nerve tissues instantaneously
supplies them with the true nourish -
mane required, and that is why ite
invigorating effects upon the tvhold
system are always felt immediately.
