Jem- eater Radha Singh, wbo was just in front of the main body, had barely time to give the command 'ready' before he was struck down by five or six spears.

Some of the enemy twine attempted to pursue us in the open, but could not face our fire, and took refuge in the bush.

En Bed 5 Months—Had Given Up All Rope of Gettin.: Well—A Remedy round el Last to which " I Owe My Life." Science has fully established the fact that all the nervous energy of our bodies is generated by nerve centres located 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 form of nervousness, headache, or stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc- ceeded by nervous prostration, chronic indigestion, and dyspepsia, and a gen- eral sinking of the whole system. In this day of hurry, fret and worry, there are very few who enjoy perfect health; nearly everyone has some trouble, an eche, or pain, a ?rankness, a nerve trouble, something wrong with the etomaoh and bowels, poor blood, heart disease, or sick headache; all of which are brought on by a lank of nervous energy to enable the different organs of the body to perform their respective work. South American Nervine Tonto, the marvellous nerve food and health giver, is asatisfying success, awondrous boon to tired, siok, and overworked men and women, who have Buffered years ofdisoouragement and tried all manner of remedies without benefit. It is a modern, a scientific remedy, and in its sake follow: 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 canoes an increased supply of nervous energy to be generated. which in its turn thoroughly oils, ea it were, tie machinery of the body, thereby ea. abling it to perform perfectly its dif. ferent functions, and without the slightest friction. 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 true to the letter, Such a course may save you months, perhaps years, of suffer' ing and anxiety. The words that follow are strong, but they emanate from the heart, and speak the sentiments of thousands of women in the United Statesand Can- ada who know, through experience, of the healing virtues of the South American Nervine Tonic. Harriet E. Hall, of Waynetown, s prominent and much respected lady, - writes as follows 1-- " I owe my life to the great South American Nervine Tonic. I have been in bed for five months with a scrofulous tumour in my right side, and suffered with indigestion and nervous prostration. Had given up all hopes of getting well. Had tried three doctors, with no relief. The first bottle of Nervine Tonic improv, d me so much that I was able to walk about, and a few bottles cured me en- tirely.
