Elxptannl ton of ilea tee-Rntletd lame 1'roubl0. A despatch from Ottawa, says: -An explanation of the failure of the bolt action of the Lee -Enfield rifle to not properly in cold weather is given by a prominent offici- al of the Militia Department, and it raises a most interesting point, He says:- "There ays:"There has been a good deal of fault found with the oaretakers of armouries for the condition of the rifles, but this is unjustifiable. The oaretakers are not allowed to touch the bolt of the rifle, andl as this is where all the trouble lies, they can- nel. supply the remedy. When these rifles were first brought into Canada from England they were packed in Russian tallow, a mixture of Rungoon oil, baoawax, and beef fat, and this has never been properly cleaned out. It is still in the bolts, and as the cars - takers aro forbidden to take the bolts apart, it is likely to stay there. The effect of this in cold weather is that it hardens up very quickly when the cold air strikes it, and the bolt aons0gn0nt- ly refuses to act properly. A special oil is also furnished to be used with this rifle, and for the same reason this oil in winter acts as 5preventive rath- er than au assistance, to the free ac- tion of the bolt."

Solid financially, Mr. Prank Bauer also has the good fortune of enjoying solid good health, and if appearances indicate anything, it is 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. Clemens sanitary resort, when his friends in Waterloo were dismayed with a report that he was at the point of death. " There's no telling where I would have been had I kept on the old treat- ment," said Mr, Bauer, with a merry laugh, the other day, while recounting his experien0es as a very eiok man. " Mt, Clemens," he continued, " was the last resort in my ease. For mouths previous I had beers suffering indescribable tortures. I began with a loss of appetite and sleepless nights. Then, as the trouble kept growing, I was getting weaker, and began losing flesh and etrengbh rapidly. My stomach refused to retain food of any kind. During all this time I was under medical treatment, and took everything prescribed, bub without relief. Ju44te.bout when my eonditioa seemed most hopeless, I heard of r wonderful cure effected in a case somewhat similar to mine, by the Groat So nth AmericanNervine Tonic and I finally tried that. On the firs4 day of its use I began to feel that was doing what no other• medioine had dune. The first dose relieved the distress completely. Before night I actually felt hungry and ate with an appetite such as I had not known for mouths. I began to pink up is 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. 1 have recovered my old weight—over 200 pounds—and never felt better in my life." Mr. Frank Bauer's experience is that of all others who have used the South American Nervine Tonic. Its instantaneous action in relieving oils - tress and pain is duo to the direct effect of this great remedy upon the nerve oeutree, whose fagged vitality le energized instantly by the very first dose. Itis a great, a wondrous oure for all nervous diseases, as well as indigestion and dyspepsia, It goes to the real source of trouble direct, and the sick always feel its marvel• loos sustaining and restorative power at once, on the very &rat day of its 11440 Sold by G.
