Peven guess at its value. The cargo
WAS the largest which had been loaded
for this port during the present season.

There is quite a considerable portion
of it of a more or less perishable na-
u tare when exposed to water. At pre-

r of speculation, but ELS far as the Scots-

e pieces, it w1(1 mean not less than 3750,-

of 8500,000, but since she was floated

her for the place she held on the Do-

Cures Wrought by South American Norville Tonic.
SIX DOSES WILL CONVINCE THE MOST INO1tEDULOUSe
EDITOR COLWELL, OF
Newspaper edit -ors are alined as
soeptical 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 claimed for a
medicine.
Hundreds of testimonials of won-
derful recoveries wrought with the
Great South American Nervine 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, siok
headache, and es a tonic for build-
ing up systems sapped of vitality
through protracted spells of sick-
ness.
During his expeffenee 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, hot in only a
single instance, and that one warrant-
ed by his own peesonal experience,
has he given a testimonial over his
own signature. No other remedy
ever offered the public has proved
snob a marvellous revelation to the
most sceptical as the South American
Nervine Tonic. Ib has never failed
in its purpose, and it has cured when

doctors and other medicines were
tried in vain.
"I was prostrated with a particu-
larly severe attack of 1 La Grippe,' "
says Mr. Colwell, "and could find no
relief from the intense pains and dia.
tress of the malady. T suffered da
and night. The doctors did not help
me, and I tried a nutnber of medm-
eines, but without relief. About this
time I was advised to try the South
American Nervine Tonio. Its effects
were instantaneous, The first d0ae I
took relieved me, I improved rapidly
and grew stronger every day. Your
Nervine Tonic oured me in a single
week,"
The South American Nervine
Tonio rebuilds the life forces by its
direct action on the nervus and the
nerve °entree, and it is this notable
feature which distinguishes it from
every other remedy in existence. The
most eminent medical authorities now
concedethatfully two-thirds of all the
physical ailments of humanity arise
from exhaustion of the nerve forces.
The South American Nervine Tonio
acting direct upon the nerve centres
and nerve tissues instantaneously
supplies them with the true nourish-
ment required, and that is why its
invigorating effects upon the whole
system are always felt immediately.

debility arising from enfeebled vital.
