fiehanee has fully established the
fact that all the nervous energy of our
bodies is generated by nerve centres
'meted near the base of the brain.
When the supply of nerve force has
been diminished either by excessive
physical or mental labours, or owing to
a derangement of the nerve centres, we
are first consciOus of a languor or tired
and worn-out feeling, then of a mild
fora) of nervousness, headaohe, or
stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc-
ceeded by nervous prostration, chronic
4ndigestion, and. dyspepsia, and a gen.
era] sinking of the whole system. In
this day of hurry, fret and worry, there
are very few who enjoy perfeot health;
needy everyone has some trouble, an
ache, or pain, a weakness, a nerve
treble, something wrong with the
stootaoh and bowels, poor blood, heart
disease, or sick headache; all of whieli
are brought on by a lack of nervous
energy 10 enable the different organsof
the body to perform their respective
work.
South American Nervine Tonic, the
marvellous nerve food andhealthgirer,
is asatisfying 'moms, a wondrous boon
to tired, siok, and overworked men
and women, who have suffered years
of discouragement; and tried all manner
of remedies without benefit, It is a
modern, a scientific remedy, and in its
-rake follows abounding health.
It is unlike all other remedies in
that it is not designed to act on the
different organs affected, but by its
direct action on the nerve centres,
which are nature's little batteries, it
eausee an increased supply of nervous
energy to be generated, which in its

If you have been reading of the re.
markable cures wrought by South
American Nervine, accounts of which
we publish from week to week, and
are still sceptical, we ask you to in.
vestigate them by correspondence, and
become convinced that they are tray
to the letter. Such a course may says

ing and anxiety.
The words that follow are strong,
but they emanate from the laeart, and
speak the sentiments of thousands of
women in the United States and Clan -

the healing virtues of the South
Amerioan Nervine Tonic.
Harriet E. Hall, of Waynetownota
prominent and /nude respected lady,
writes as follows:-
" I owe my life to the great South
American Norville Tonic, I have
been in bed for five months with a
scrofulous tumour in my right side,
and Buffered with indigestion and
nervous prostration. Had given up
all hopes of getting well. Rad tried
three doctors, with no relief. The
Brat bottle of Nervine Tonic improved
me so much that I was able to walk
about, and a few bottles cured me en-
tirely. I believe it is the best medi•
eine in rho world. I cannot recom-
