"A few weeks ago I ate some green vegetables and some fruit that was not quite ripe. It first brought on a fit of indigestion, but unfortunately it develop- ed into hiocoughs. accompanied by nau- sea. and cramps. I was dreadfully ill for two daysâ€"my head ached and thmbbed; I belched gas continually, and I was un- able to sleep at night. A neighbor hap- pened in to see me and urged me to try Nerviline. Well.

I used Nerviline several times, and was completely m stored.” The above is from a letter written by G. E. Braun, a. well-known stockman and farmer near Lethbridge, Alta.

Tthe suppbrter’s of the scheme de~ claim that financiers are suflic're'nfly well disposed toward it to facilitate the finding of the capital required. The project for a, tunnel is'now seriously revived. The arguments opposing it are also revived. The first one to-dey is the cost, which those who favor the plan‘ estimate at $80,000,000, while its opponents say it might be much more, and add that it would not appeal to the or- dinary investing public in France or England. Then comes the engi- neering question. Great authorities are divided on this‘ point as to its practicability. Thirdly, there is the stretegicquestion. This is admit- tedly not so important as it was thirty years ago, and to-day the British War Oflice and the Admir- alty are not believed to be hostile to the project. _ Mlnard's Liniment Cures Burn's, Etc. Meanwhile French approval of the [scheme became practically un- animous. The entente cordialle ways of course used as an argument in its favor. The main arguments, ,how- ever, were purely economical. l‘son; by the great London editor-s, by army men, such as the Duke of Cambridge and Field Marshal, Lord Wolseley, and by the heads of «the Admiralty, while men like the Late Goldwin Smith wrote articles of virulent denunciation of the propo- esal. 'The result was that Sir Ed- ward Watkin’s scheme was for the time buried, but it was not dead. It was brought forward again in 1906 and in 1907 and found some friends, but none of great impor- tance who would go wholeheartedly for it, and the London newspapers where they were not hostile were uncertain in tone. Scheme to Connect England and France By Tunnel. Are England and France to be connected by a Channel tunnel? This old question is again being seriously considered. As long as thirty years ago a violent campaign was waged against rthis scheme. At that time a protest against it was signed by leading peers and digniâ€" taries of all churches, in England, including the late Cardinal Man- ning, by members of Parliamth and other prominent men, such as Sir John Lubbock, Browning, Hux- ley, Spencer and Frederick Harriâ€" "When I was working around the farm last winter I had an attack of inflamma- tion,” writes Mr. E.
