I'tewepapee' edi'•ors are almost a8 eoeptieel as the average physician on the subject of new remedies for sick people. Nothing short of a Series of most remarkalilo and well authenti- cated cures will incline either an editor or a doctor+n seriously consider the merits honestly claimed for a medicine, Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wrought with the Great South American Nervine Tomo were received from men and worsen all over the country before physicians began to prescribe this groat remedy in chronic cases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sick headache, and as a tonic for build- ing up systems sapped of vitality through protracted spells of rick- nr88. During his experience of nearly a quarter of a century as a newspaper publisher in Faris, Ont., Editor Ool- well, of Tho Paris Review, has pub- lished hundreds of oolong's of paid medicine advertisements, and, no doubt, printed many a grauafully- worded puff for his patrons as a matter of business, but in only a single instance, and that one warrant- ed by his own p5'•sonal experience, has he given a testimonial over bis own signature. No other remedy ever offered the public hart proved such a marvellous revelation to the most sceptical as the South American Nervine Tonio. It has never failed in ite purpose, and it has cured when doctors and other medicines were tried in vain. " I was prostrated with a particu- larly severe attack of ' La Grippe,' " says Mr. Oolwell, "and could find nu relief from the intense pains and diw tress of the malady. T 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 estate were instantaneous.
