llolms lull ltllnu Nelllllllll [mill Slllllllll lllllll l :NO MORE STIFFNESS, PAIN on ‘ MISERY IN' YOUR BACK OR SIDE OR LlMBSi Wonderful “Nervlllne” Is the Remedy. A marvelous pain reliever. ‘ Not an ordinary linimentâ€"just about five times more powerful, more pene- trating, more pain-subduing than any thick, oily or ammonia liniment. Ner- viline fairly eats up the pain and stiff- ness in chronic rheumatic joints, gives quick relief to those throbbing pains, and never burns or even stains the skin. “Rheumatism kept my joints swollen and sore for ten years. My right knee joint was often too painful to allow me to walk. In this crippled tortured con- dition I found Nerviline a blessing. Its warm, soothing action brought relief I had given up hoping for. I rubbed on quantities of Nerviline and improved steadily. I also took Ferrozone at mealtime in order to purity and en- rich my blood. I am today well and can recommend my treatment most conscientiously. (Signed) C. PARKS, Prince Albert. Not an ache or pain in the muscles or joints that Nerviline won't cure. It's wonderful for lumbago and sciaâ€" tica; for neuralgia, stiff neck, earache and toothache. Nerviline is simply a wonder. Best family liniment known and largely used for the past forty years. Sold by dealers everywhere, large family size bottle 500., small trial size 25c. Refuse a substitute, take only “Nerviline.” 314., “â€" THE PRICE OF CARDS. Selling goods is not always the most difficult task that the travelling salesâ€" man faces; frequently he needs a quicker wit and a greater ingenuity to obtain his first interview with the prospective purchaser. That is true, at least, of the salesman in the follow. ing story: The salesman sent in his card to the manager of a large store. The mana- ger's office was separated from the waiting-room by a glass partition. so that the salesman could plainly see the manager take the card that the office boy brought him, tear it in halves, and throw the pieces into the wastebasket. Accordingly, he was not surprised when a moment later the office-boy reported that the manager was too busy to see him. However, the salesman knew that he had good merchandise to sell, of a kind that the manager really needed. and he was determined not to be put off so easily. So he said to the boy: “Very well; in that case, I want my card back.” The boy disappeared into the office: presently he returned with five cents. and the information that the card had been torn up. The salesman calmly pocketed the five cents, took another card from his ' case, and handed it to the boy. “Tell the manager," he said, “that 1 always sell two cards for a nickel.” This time, as he watched through the glass partition, he saw the mana-‘ ger's scowl gradually turn into a smile and he knew that an interview and probably a good sale were assured. e N [ill 1!)

Can a man live with faculties un- impaired after a large portion of his brain has been removed, or with no brain at all? Several recent cases are leading scientists to answer the ques- tion in the affirmative, however much such an answer would have been scouted a. little while ago. There is now in the service of Dr. Daniel Moliere, surgeon in the Hotel Dieu Hospital, Lyons, a capable little fellow of 12 years, who is apparently in perfect health. Some time ago, in sliding down the balusters, he fell and fractured his skull upon a chandelier below. As a bowl full of brain matter oozed from the wound, no hope was entertained for his recovery. He lay in a coma for ten days, in fact, but upon awakening began to improve and is at present apparently sound in mind and body. The famous surgeon, M. Destot. lcomes forward with an incident as striking. It is the case of a stone ma- son, who in mounting a large cornice was so seriously wounded that he lost the left frontal bone and the left fron- tal lobe of the brain. After twelve days of unconsciousness he began to recover, and, according to the sur- geon, is not only well, but in the pos- session of all his senses. When in Algiers some time ago, Dr. Bruch treated an Arab for an ugly wound about the left eye, which had been caused by the blow of a ham- mer. The patient remained in the hospital service fully two months and during that time did not show the slightest evidence of cerebral trouble. At the end of that period he became unconscious and died in a few days. The post mortem examination devel- oped the astounding fact that he was totally destitute of brains. The anatomist and the psychologist alike are studying these cases with tremendous interest, but no explana- tion that harmonizes with our previ- ous knowledge seems to be forthcom- ing. .____.x.__ CITY COUNCIL DOINGS To put through the will require some tall time lots of coma will be tramped on.

The three kinds of flies commonly found in dwelling houses have simi- lar or identical histories. The fe- male deposits from 120 to 150 eggs at a time and may repeat this per- formance as often as four times in a season; a prolificity which, if un- checked. would leave little room for other forms of life upon the earth. The eggs are deposited by choice in horse-dung, but when that is not available, in any description of excremental or decaying refuse in which the larvae bury themselves as soon as hatched and on which they feed until they assume the pupa stage. The complete insect emerges in ten _to twelve days, more or less according to temperature and other external conditions, and requires about ten days more in order to become sexually mature. Dr. Howard gives a calculation of prolificity based upon the hypo- thesis that all the eggs are hatched , and all the larvae come to maturity and shows that under these condi- l’tions a. female surviving the winter and depositing 120 eggs on April 5 might occasion the issue of the tenth of the following September of 5,- 598.720,000,000 of adult- flies, of which one half would be females.

According to the professor the phenomena of old age are the re- sult of contamination of the blood by intestinal poisons. Among these one of the chief is Indol. This poison can be eliminated by careful attention to diet along the lines indicated in his books and arti- cles. The object of the diet is to in- troduce good microbes into the sys- tem. These are of two kinds, the one producing sugar and the other lactic acid. To an interviewer he said: “For 17 years I have eaten nothing Food of food of any kind, in the form of fruit, or otherwise. I find my sugar in; dates surrounded with Bulgarian baâ€"l cilli; the lactic acid comes from the‘ well-known preparation of souredl milk. This I take in the early morn- I begin with a plate full of vegetable bouillon. After my pot. of soured milk I drink a cup of Weak teaâ€"â€"not black, as you have it in England." . Professor Metchnikoff is notoriouslyE Highest grade beans kept whole and mealy by perfect baking. retaining their full strength. Flavored with delicious sauces. They have no equal. I vigorous for his years, and seems to} find no need for holidays. He is ab l senting himself from the Pasteur In~ stitnte during the month of July, and has taken up his residence in the for« est of Rambouilet, where he is devot- ing himself more ardently than ever to scientific researchl Professor Metchnikoff says that he persists in his regime because in his own case it has given such good re- sults. He comes from a short-lived family; he is the only one remaining, and he attributes this fact to his sys- tem of diet. Many savants of his gen- eration are unable to continue their labors, whilst he supports with ease the close and exacting labor of the laboratory. He takes meat and vege- tables at his two principal meals in' .1, the day, lunch and dinner, but his consumption of meat is very restrict- ed, though he does not insist that it shall be white. Compote of fruit forms a part of each repast. Death Nearly Md New Brunswick Lady Was Restored to Her Anxious Family When Hope Had Gone.
