Have You Nervous Dyspepsia ?
How it shakes one up, invades sleep,
destroys strength, adds real misery to
life. Not the stomach, but the nerves
are effected. Starved nerves cause the
whole trouble. You need Ferrozone
because it is a nerve food. It supplies
the elements that are•needed to make
rich red blood. This is the saving
hank of health. The richer the blood
in .red cells, the richer you're sure to
be health. Ferrozone quickly makes
blood, strengthens the nervous sys-
tem, invigorates the digestive organs
and the nervous disturbance disap-
pears. You'll try Ferrozone, 25c per
box at all dealers.

BEFORE THE BUSH WAS CLEARED.
I love the clear old grandrnamas
\Vho knit and dream all day,
I love the dear old grandpapas
Who smoke and chat away
Of scenes o'er which they fondly pore.
"The happiest days," they say,
"Were those long, long ago, before
The bush was cleared away."
What tales they tell of wolves and
That used to roam the wild, [bears
But they were brave, had little cares
Tho' they as heroes toiled.
The giants of the forest bore
To earth beneath their sway,
For well they wrought long, long be -
The bush was cleared away. [fore
For neighbors they were neighbors
To aid their brothers of the glen And lent a willing hand [then
To clear the wild woodland.
Pride never entered at the door,
Monopoly had no sway,
'Twas friendship's brotherhood before
The bush was cleared away.
The logging -bee, it brings a smile
To many a wrinkled face,
For they would come for many a mile
To enter in the race
Against the men from Grainby: Gore,
Or from the Billing Bay.
Then spree at night they had, before
The bush was cleared away.
The whiskey then was good and pure,
A gallon for ten pence,
And you could drink it, be secure,
Oh yes, it was immense,
Not like the poison .nen now pour
Down them, that works decay,
Not like the good old stuff, before
The bush was cleared away.
The candle gave them ample light,
No lamps on poles: 'ad they,
To turn to noon -tide nature's night.
They had their right of way
By blazed paths. No engine's roar
Was heard by night or day.
The ox -cart was enoggh, before
The bush was cleared away,
The meetings in the small schoolhouse
Knew not the cushioned pew.
Bot 'twos for Truth they did espouse,
Tho' they were poor and few.
And oft. on wings of faith would soar
Their thoughts when they would
pray,
They were far better Christians, 'fore
The bush was cleared away,
The spinning wheel was good enough,
No factory goods had they,
No pedlars with their shoddy stuff
Would throu' the forest stray.
No mutton sleeves or bangs they wore,
They were more grave than gay -
The maids the laddles woo'd, before
The bush was cleared away.
No boodlers ruled their politics,
Or bolters held their sway.
They had no gerrymander tricks
Or double tax to pay.
No great Sir Bowell on the floor,
Not even Willie Rae.
They were unknown, long before
The bush was cleared away.
I love the dear old grandmamaa,
Who dreamt and knit and nod,
I love the dear old. grandpapas,
Who soon beneath the sod
Will lie at rest, their journeys o'er,
But memory oft will stray
To tales they told to as, before
The bush was cleared away.

Miss Mary Wasmann, eldest daugh-

an amiable disposition which endear-

The G. T. R. Jct. here was early on
Thursday morning last, the scene of
a bad wreck, and as a result three
large locomotives and a snow plow
were ditched and badly disabled.
Fortunately no one was injured. A
freight engine became disabled at the
Jct., and the auxiliary from London
came to repair it, and this being done
the train pulled back on the siding,
The conductor came to the station and
gave the information that the track
was clear, and in the meantime the
train pulled out partly on the main
line, supposedly to pick up some tools
they had left, when along came a
snow plow and three engines from
Stratford, in charge of Roadmaster
McGar, Who had been given a clear
track to Goderich. The plow struck
the derrick car of the auxiliary, and
was forced off the track, finally land-
ing on its side a considerable distance
in a field. Clear hy, and the three
engines were all ditched and jammed
together like a pile of scrap iron. The
Stratford auxiliary carne to the
rescue, and the track was oleared by
noon.

$150 to the central fund,
A goodly number of our townspeo-

John Walker, formerly of Brussels,

there about the first of March.
The ice harvest has engaged the
attention of the teamsters W. Sel-
lers' team went through the ice on the

cold bathwithout suffering apparent
injury.
Robt. Thueil has disposed of his
residence, Turnberry street, now ten-
anted by Dr. Fetid, to Mrs. Keys, 5th
line, Morris, for the sum of $1,000.
Mrs. Keys recently sold her 100 acre
farm to her son and will take up resid-

A skating rink for Brussels is
among the probabilities. P. Ament
and N. F. Gerry took a trip to Chesley
a few days ago to see one there. It is
proposed to circulate a subscription
list and if sufficient money is in sight
Mr. Ament will get out timber this
winter to get things ° in shape for
building next summer.
A proposition is on foot for the
extension of the C. P, R. line from
Port Burwell via Exeter and Seaforth
to Brussels and north to Wroxeter.
Correspondence is being ' carried on
with the Company in reference to it.
This line would provide a short north
line now required and would tap the •
C. P. R. lines east and west at Walton
and Wroxeter. A delegation from
the municipalities interested may wait
upon the C. P. R. The road is survey-
ed as far as Exeter.
A meeting was held Monday even-
ing to discuss the Canning Factory
project in Brussels when a score of
citizens assembled in the Council
Chamber. Reeve Leckie submitted
considerable information concerning
the industry in Ontario and outlined
what had been done with the stock
lists in town. $0,200 had been sub-
scribed, but as $25,000 was estimated
as the lowe.st sum necessary to launch
the enterprise, there is apparently a
big shortage yet. After several had
expressed their opinions the matter
was referred back to the canvassing
committee to see what further aid
may be secured when another meet- .
ing will be called.

slid their best but were powerless. -
Mr. John Lee, of Pembroke, says: -
"I had indigestion. I had .lost my
appetite. I was run down in flesh. I
was so sick that I feared fatal results,
and was almost in despair because my
physician seemed powerless to cope
with the disease. ' I was induced to try
South American Nervine. I received
so much .benefit from one bottle that I
persevered in the treatment, and to-
day I am a new man and am cured
completely. (12)
