HOW I CURE WEAK, PUNY MEN

Give me a man broken down from dissipation, hard work, or worry, from any cause which has sapped his vitality, Let him follow my advice for three months and I will make him as vigorous in overy respect as any man of his age.

I will not promise to make a Hercules of a man who was never intended by nature to bo strong and sturdy. Even that man I can make better than he is but the man who has been strong and has lost his strength I can make as good as he ever was. I can give back to any man what he has lost by abuse of the laws of nature.

A man who is nervous, whose brain and body are weak, who sleeps badly, awakes more tired than when he went to bed, who easily discouraged, inclined to brood over imaginary troubles, who has lost ambition and energy to tackle had problems, lacks the animal electricity which the Dr McLaughlin Electric Electro Vigour supplies.

The whole force of vitality in your body is dependent upon your animal electricity. When you lose it in any manner my Belt will replace it, and cure you.

It is a beacon light to a man who has become discouraged from useless doctoring,

My Electro Vigour has a wonderful influence upon tired, weak norves. It braces and invigorates them and stirs up a great

foroo of energy in a man.

I make the best electrical body appliances in the world, having devoted twenty years to perfecting it. I know my trade. My cures after everything else had failed are my best arguments.

Give me a man with pains in his back, a dull ache in his muscles or joints, come and go' pains in his shoulders, chest and alde, Sciatica in his hip, Lumbago; Rheumatism or any ache or pain, and my Electric Vigour will pour the oil of life into his aching body and drive out every sign of pain, No pain can exist where my Electric Vigour is worn.

There is not a country in the world which has not cures by Dr Mclaughlin & Electric Belt.

Now, what does this mean to you, dear reader? If you are not what you ought to be can you ask any better proof to make you try it? Is there a remedy which is as imple, as easy to use, as sure to cure and es cheap as Dr McLaughlin's Electric Vigour I have not seen one. You must try it. In justice to yourself and to those who look to you for their future happiness, try it now. Act this minute. Such a matter ought not to be delayed.

It is as good for women as for men. Worn while you sleep, it causes no trouble. You feel the gentle, glowing heat from antly, but no sting, no burning, as in old-style belts,

liable estimate of the amount involved in reating a beautiful city in the bush of Australin has been produced, though Senator Styles, nu nean authority, talks in millions when he is criticising the public buildings proposed for the capital alone, This much, however, the merchant and manufacturer having business with Australia should know the tendency in the National Parliament is to select the site at once and push on with the erection of necessary buildings without delay. Australian logis- lators want a worthy home of their own. Provided there be decent wool and grain harvests in 1904-5, and no sudden drought sets Australia back on its haunches once more, these gentlemen will get their way, and hundreds of thousands of pounds will find their way to London, Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield, and Belfast for the myriad essentials of city life which even the nimble-witted Australian cannot manufacture for himself.

Mr Archibald Tanner, who, starting at the tender age of eight, has now been working in the coal mines for over fifty years. His long and irregular hours in the early days of his career--from midday till midnight-- were the cause no doubt of the attacks of indigestion Mr Tanner suffered from for ovor twenty years, and his story in his own words, told to a Bristol reporter, should prove interesting locally-For twenty years I suffered severly from indigestion. and about six months ago matters came to a climax. I became rapidly very much I scomed to lose alltrength, had no desire for any food, felt terribly drowsy and sleepy all day long, and was anxious to get to hed carly. My night's rest was al- ways broken, and never refreshed me, During the twenty years of suffering I had three different doctors, but no good what- over resulted from their efforts. I was losing flesh, and, in fact, became so weak that I could not go to work without a great struggle. I have, indeed, fallen down in the middle of the road from weakness and dizziness when on my way to work. What with all the troubles that aroso out of my weakness and the continuance of the pains in my head, you may imagine how bad I felt, and, believe me when I tell you I thought I couldn't live much longer. I read of exactly similar cases to mine being cured by Chas. Forde's bile beans, and I determined to see if they would do me any good. I bought a box and took a course. In a short time I was able to enjoy the first square meal I'd been able to face for three months. This was so distinctly encouraging that I made up my mind to persevere with At the close of that course I bile beans, found myself completely cured. I have never felt so well for twenty years as I am now; and as I consider that bile beans alone cured me I do my best to recommend them to everybody I come across, and, of course, always keep a box by me in the house. Anything I can do to make them known I am ready and willing to do, and I am delighted to give you permission to publish this for the benefit of other sufferers. "Ente

that there is more freedom in China than in almost any country except Great Britain. In order to make this clear, it is first necessary to enquire what is freedom; and this is best done by ex- amining into what constitutes the absence of freedom. In the first place there is absolute liberty of movement throughout the whole Chinese Empire.

Only when it was plain that nothing could be done with the Rurik did they leave her to her fate, On this point we cannot help admiring their bravery. Further, we were moved at the efforts made to save their lives. When the Rurik was on the point of sinking, some of the crew-even men who had lost an arm or leg-were seen trying to save themselves, by tying themselves to a log or a piece of board. We were much impressed by these examples of their presence of mind. As for our own people we really tried our best to rescue the drowning men and as a matter of fact were successful in saving all who were still living when we got to the place. Even some fowls and birds were rescued by our men and removed to our vessels. If Japan ese had been in such a position they would have committed harakiri.
