Newepaper edieore are almost ae sceptical 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 eeriously consider the merits honestly claimed for a medicine. Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wroueht 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 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 sick - nem. During his experience of nearly a quarter of a century as a newspaper publisher in Paris, Ont., Editor Col- well, of Tho 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 busineen, but in only a single instanee, and that one warrant- ed by his own peesonal experience, has he given a testimonial over his own signature.

" I was prostrated with a particu- larly severe attack of ' La Grippe,' says Mr. Colwell, " and oould find ne relief from the intense pains and di - tress of the malady. I suffered day and night. The &adore did not help me, and I tried a number of meth - eines, but without relief. About this time I was advised to try the South American Nervine Tonic. Its effects were instantaneous. The first dose I took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger every day. Your Nervine Tonic cured me in a single weke" The South .Amerioan Nervine Tonic rebuilds the life forces by its direct action on the nerves and the nerve centres, and it is this notable feature which distinguishes it from every other remedy in existence. The most eminent mediae' authorities now concedethat fully two-thirds of all the physical ailments of humanity arise from exhaustion of the nerve forces. The South Amerioan Nervine Tonic acting direct upon the nerve centres and nerve tissues instantaneously supplies them with the tree nourish- ment required, and that is why its invigorating effects upon the whole system are always felt immediately, For all nervous diseases, for general debility arising from enfeebled vital. ity, and for stomanh troubles of every variety no other remedy Can possibly take its tila,e Deadman. are boiled to pieces before the stalks are sufficiently done.
