EDITOR COLWELL, OF PARIS, ONT., )IEVIEW,
Newspaper editors are almost as
sceptical as the average physioian on
the subject of new remedies for sick
people. Nothing short of a series of
most remarkable and well authenti-
cated oures 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 Norvine Tonic
were received from men and women
all over the country before physicians
began to prescribe this great remedy
In chronic oases of dyspepsia, in-
digestion, nervous prostration, nick
headache, and as a tonic for build-
ing up systems sapped of vitality
through protracted spells of 8iak-
uesa,
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
tnF!dielne advertisements, and, no
doubt, printed many a graoefully-
worded puff for his patrons as a
matter of business, but in only a
Bingle instange, and that one warrant-
ed by his own personal experience,
has ho given a 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
doctors and other medicines user*
tried in vain.
"I was prostrated with a pardon•
larly severe attack of 'La Grippe,' "
says Mr. Colwell, "and could find no
relief from the intense pains and die.
tress of the malady. Z 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
Alnerioan Nervine Tonic, Its effects
were instantaneous. The first duel
took relieved me. I improved rapidly
and grew stronger every day, Your
Nervine Tonic cured me in a single
week,"
The South American Nervine
Tonin rebuilds the life forces by its
direct action on the nerves and the
nerve centres, and It is this notables
feature which distinguishes it from
every other remedyin existence, The
most eminent medical authorities tow
concedotha t fully two-thirds of all the
physical ailments of humanity aria*
from exhaustion of the nerve forces.
The South American Nervine Tonto
acting direct upon the nerve centres
and, nerve tisanes inotantaneoualy
supplies them with the true nourish-
ment required, and that is why W.
invigorating effects upon the whole
system are always felt immediately,.
For all nervous diseases, for genera
debility arising from enfeebled vitae,
ity, and for stomach troubles of every
variety no other remedy can possibly

A despatch from London says: -The
British 1Ver Department has inaugur-
ated a measure of considerable import-
ance, et provides that in future every
cavalry regiment shall comprise a cer-
tain number of trained telegraphers,
and, ivasmucll as increased pay and
brighter prospects of promotion are
to be accorded to troopers and non-
commissioned officers who have mas-
tered the ee1Onee of telegraphy, the '
result will be that in course of time
nearly every cavalrymen will know
how to telegraph. In modern warfare
cavalry 15 used almost exclusively for
reconnoissance, and the idea is that

pert, not only to be enabled to tap

11 1s known that both Germeny and
Ressia keep large bodies of cavalry on
either side of their long frontier with
the main purpose of cutting and tap-
ping the enemy's telegraphic wire just

therefore that a knowledge at tele-
