Sometimes, as Mr. Ephraim Tallman, who is a retired farmer, highly respected in the c mmunity, and now liv- ing in Merrickville, has said, temporary relief is secured. But the reaction that comes from disappointment is apt to set the patient back further than be was be- fore. The feature of South American Nervine is its permanent. healing powers. It is a medicine which strikes at the root of dis- ease, curing the deranged parts at the nerve centres, and these cured, disease cannot. exist. Mr. Tallman found this to be the case. He says 2â€"” Tvm years ago this fall Iliad an attack of La Grippe, and I haVe never been well since. My bowels,I may say, became perfectly ‘dormant, andl tried a great many medicines, and got Just tem- porary relief. But it was very tempomry. Mr. E. Errett, lumber merchant. of this town, advised me to try South American Nervine, and I must, and can, truthfully say that I have received more benefit from it than from alP’the other remedies I have ever taken. I can honestly recommend it, as I consider it an excellent remedy. I know nothing better. I am a much better man since taking this remedy than for a number of years. and 1 give this testimony freely of my own accord, wishing South American Nervine the success it deserves.” â€"â€"â€"â€"+â€"â€"â€"- Burglaries are reported in many parts of the Province.
