Quick Response of a Depletes Neewe)

MR. FRANK BAUER, BERLIN, On,
Perhaps you know him 1 In Water-
loo he is known as one of the most
popular and successful business men of
that enterprising town. As eaanag-
ing executor of the Kuntz estate, he is
at the head of a vase business, repre-
senting an investment of many thous-
ande of dollars, and known to many
people throughout the Province.
Solid financially, Mr. Frank 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.
()lemma 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
hie experiences as a very siok man,
"Mt. Clemens," he continued, "vias
the last resort in my case. For
months previous I had been suffering
Indescribable tortures. I began with
a loss of appetite and sleepless nights.
Then, as the trouble kept growing, I
w„s getting weaker, and began losing
flesh and strength rapidly. My
stomach refused to retain food of any
kind. During all this time I was
ander medical treatment, and took
everything prescribed, but without
relief, Just about when my condition
seemed most hopeless, I heard of s
wonderful cure effeoted in a case
somewhat similar to mine, by the
Great South AmerioanNervine Tonic
and I finally tried that. On the first
day of its use I began to feel that it
was doing what no other medicine
had done. The first dose relieved the
distress completely. Before night I
actually felt hungry and ate with an
appetite such as 1 had not known foe
months. I began to pick up in
strength with eurprising rapidity,
slept well nights, and before I knew
it I was eating three square meats
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. I
have recovered my old weight—over
200 ponnde—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 dis-
tress and pain is due to the direct
effect of this great remedy upon the
nerve centres, whose fagged vitality
is energized instantly by the very first
dose. It is a great, a wondrous ours
for all nervous diseases, as well es
indigestion and dyspepsia. It goes
to the real aouroe of trouble direet,
and the sick always feel its marvel-
lous snetainiag and restorative power
at once, on the very first day of iii
use.

AGGRESSIVE OPERATIONS.

Department toy 11. 8. Troops.
A despatch from Washington says:
-The army movement on Cuba is now
fairly launched, and Thursday's news
developed a concerted effort all along
the line to begin aggressive operations
an a big scale tor the ejectment of
the Spanish troops and Government
Pram the "Pearl of the Antilles." An
order given on Wednesday by the War
Department for the purchase of 5,000,-
000 rations lean earnest of the scale
on which preparations are being made
ter the invasion of Spain's territory.
Of this vast quantity one-fourth is to
go to the Philippines, by way of San
Francisco, and the balance to Cuba.
For some reason that was not dis-
coverable hero appeared to be a tetn-
paorary check iu the practical work-
ing out of the plans of the War De-
partment for this 'Cuban movement.
After everything had been made ready
for departure on Wednesday night
General. Miles was detained, and for a
time on Thursday the rather gloomy
prospect of an indefinite postponement
or the first military expedition was
presented:. Later on, however, the ob-
stacie, whatever It was, was removed,
and it was again announced that the
commanding geuerat with a numerous
staff, would leave Washington on.
Thursday. directly for Tampa. The
department has made a great many
changes in the original programme laid
down for the coneontr•ation of troops,
and, many bodies of voluotoors that
were originally slated for Dna of the
great concentration mans have found
themselves under orders to proceed di-
rect to southern points, so that volun-
teers from the east and middle west
whit soon be moving swiftly to Florida
and the Gulf, 'while from the West the
care will bo carrying t1'oops to San
IPranoisco. Thursday's ews, in connec-
tion with the renewal of General Mttee'
orders to go to 'Tampa, is pretty sub-
stantial evidence of a very early tnove-
mcnt of troops in strong force to Cuba,
while the Philippine programme, of
course, has been definitely fixed for,
