Fearful Adventure or 0 ltnsvtnn Tomer of 6S7i1 Anlo,o:11s, A despatch from St. Petersburg says: -A terrible scene was witnessed here on thursday during a performance at the Sleyberg Menagerie. A tamer named Charles Patti was suddenly at- tacked by one of his bears, which, aft- er fulling him, attempted to Lear the flesh from his face with its teeth. Tha tamer for at time kept the animal away by thrusting his forearm down its throat, but the beer again knocked him down, and then began to tear his stomach. All this time one of the at- tendants was in vain trying to make the bear release his hold of the tamer by stabbing him with a pitchfork, At length, however, the brute was driven to the bars at the front of the eage and this enabled rho tamer to be re- moved at the back. He was then in a terrible condition. Immediately aft- wards another tamer entered the cage, threw a lasso over the bear's neck, pulled it tight, and then shot the animal through the head with a revolver, killing it instantly, In the Hams cage were a second bear, two wolves, and a wild dog, but, fortun- ately they did not attempt to inter- fere, contenting themselves with im- passively watching the same. ?LEERS BURNED TO DEATH.

EDITOR COLWELL, OF Nevepapee odi1orn are almost as soeptioal as the average physician on the subject of new remedies for sick people. Nothing short of a series of 123081 remarkable and well authenti- cated cures willincline either an editor or a doctor to seriously consider the merits honestly claimed for le medicine. Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wrought with the Great.South American Nervine Tonic were rect!ved from mon and women all over the country before physicians began to prescribe this great remedy in chronic oases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sick headache, and as a tonic for build- ing up systems sapped of vitality through protracted 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 pe'•sonal experience, has he 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 Nerving Tonic. It has never failed in its purpose, and it lass mired when Sold by G. A. Deadman. PARIS, ONT., REVIEW, doctors and other medicines were tried in vain. - " I was prostrated with a particu- larly severe attack of 1 La Grippe,' says Mr. Colwell, 1' and could had no relief from the intense pains and die. tress of the malady. I suffered day and night. The dooters did not help me, and I tried a number of meds. cines, but without relief. About this. time I was advised to try the South American Nerving Tonic. Its effects were instantaneous, The first dose I took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger every day. Your Nervine Tonic oared nee in a single week."
