FULL OF ENCOURAGEMENT In Bed 5 Months Had Given Up All Hope of Getting Well A Remedy Found at Last to which " I Owe My Life." Science has fully established the fact that all the ner VOIIH enorgy of our bodies U f'tinerated by nerve centres loottttd near the h:oa of the brain. VV'li-u the supply of nervo force hat bcHn diminished either by excessive phy <! i' or mental labours, or owing to * dr*n;.(iTQiit of the nerve centre*, we ar tirst conscious of a languor or tired an 1 worn out fueling, then of a mild form of nervousness, headache, or tomioh trouble, which is perhaps suc- c.i- I ! by nervous proatration, chronio indigestion, and dyspepsia, and agon- era! sinking of thu whole system. In thmday of hurry, frot and worry, there am very favr who nnjoy perfect health ; nearly nveryona hat some trouble, an ache, or pain, a weakness, a nerve trouble, something wrong with the stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart diaoaan, or sick headache ; all of which are brought on by a lack of nervous energy loanable the different organs of the body to perform their respective work. South American Nervine Tonic, the marvellous nervo food and health giver, is asatiufy ing suconts, a wondrous boon to tired, sick, and overworked men and women, who have suffered years of discouragement and tried all manner of remndiea without benefit. It is a modern, a scientific remedy, and iniU wake follows abounding health. It is unlike all other remedies) in that it U not designed to art on the different organs affected, but by its direct action on the nerve centres, whioh *r* nature's little batteries, it i an inorssssd supply of nervous to U generated, which In iU turn thoroughly oils, as it were, the machinery of the body, thereby en- abliiig it to perform perfectly its dif- ferent functions, aud without the slightest f fiction. If you have been reading of the re- markable cures wrought by South American Nervine, accounts of which we publish from week to week, and are still sceptical, we auk you to in- vestigate them by correspondence, and become conviuciul that they are true to the letter, Buch a course may save you mouths, perhaps years, of suffer- ing and aniiety. The words that follow are strong, but they emanate from the heart, and Kpeak the sentiments of thousands of woman in t!u United States and Can- ada who know, through experience, of the hunting virtue* of the South American Nervine Tonic. Harriet K. Hall, of Waynetown, a prominent and much respected lady, writes as follows: " 1 owe my life to the great South American Nervine Tonic. I have been in bed for five months with n. scrofulous tumour in my right side, and suffered with indigestion and nervous prostration. Had given up all hopog of getting well. Had tried three doctors, with no relief. The first bottle of Nervine Tonic improved me so much that I was able to walk about, and a few bottles rurrd me en- tirely. I believe it U the best medi- cine in the world. I eannot recom- mend it too highly." Tired women, oan you do bettor than beoome acquainted with tfei* truly great rMMJy t The Old Recruting Sergeant. REMINISCENCES OF MILITARY LIFE. Written for Tht Advanir hy ' Old Soldier." Previous to taking up the thread of my narrative, I may here remark for the benefit of those of my readers who are uninitiated in military tactic*, that at the period of which I write, a regiment of the line was composed of 14 companies, namely, twelve service and two depot companies. The hervice Companies were first, the Grenadier Company, chosen from the biggest aud ablest men of the regiment, ranging iu height six feet and over, next came the battalion companies, uuuiberiog from one to ti ii ; lastly came tin- light company selected from the smartest men iu the regiment, from five feet ten to six feet in height. A light company man always thought (as the phrase went) "no dust" of himself, and every regiment as a rule were proud of then- grenadiers and light company. Our regiment had ample reason to be proud of ours, for they were the ad- mirition uf the whole camp at Alder- shot. The Gteuadier and light companies were done away with by an order fiom the the War Office issued in 1H60, and was the source of general dissatisfact- ion throughout the whole army. The Depot Companies Nos. 11 aud 12 were formed into Depot Battalions, for the reception and naming of recruits as wt K as lor the reception of old soldi- ers whose term of servict was too near xpiratioD to be sent on foreign set- vice. Since those days the whole system lias beeu entirely changed, the line regiments are no longer known by tin n number, but by the first, second, or third battalion of the Yorkshire regiments, etc. But 1 must now return to raj nar rative. The fifth of November, 1854, is a day which will be long rernem* be red by the British nation. Aa long as English History repeats to rising generations the story of Guy Fa w keg. so long will history repeat the story of the bloody battle of lukerman. The in*. i mug of that eventful day opened with rain and dense fog, so dense that our troops conld scarcely xtingiiisli fiieud from foe. The valley of the Inkertuan was swarming wall Russians. The allied forces re- indcd to the galling fire of the . i . my, the battle commenced and continued with unabated fury, and the iron iiail of an overwhelming number of :he enemy was making sad havoc among our forces, still the Imltlc raofd, i till our gallaut soldiers <U lied the enemy 's shot and shell. So tierce was the struggle, aud so fast were, our noble fellows fallii g, that, like littlakluva, it seemed to bo a fur- lorn hope. But how fares it with our hero ? The regiment had all day borne the brunt uf the bailie. They had played a nulih part in that bloody drama. Their comiuander had fallen to rise 110 raoro ; many of their officer* were slain or placed hors de combat ; their ranks had been vastly decimated by the tfii ilic fire of the enemy. Is it any wonder, then, that they should begin to get discouraged ? Our lier-j 8itw the danger, lie shouted to his (HI iiiidiiax, "Think of Alma, lads;* think of Alma." The voice of their I beloved color-sergeant revived their npiriiK, the} rallied, they pressed for* ward to the fray. But all at once ihrv mi >ril him. Where WAS ho ? Was hi- numbered with the blam ? No, dear reader, he was uut ; he was engaged in a pursuit for whioh he is noted, an act of bravery, for as he was in the act of rull) 'ing on his men he espied un 'Hi cer in deadly conflict with four lltu- siaus He rushed to his assistance, but just as he arrived die officer was struck to the ground. Almost simul- taneously the bntt of the sergeant's n Mr de.- ceii'led with terrific force on the head of the assailant, who fell a corpse at his feet, bo fierce was the blow that the sargomit's rifle was shiv- ered to atoms. Defore the sergeant could icalize what had happened he in return received a aabre out which left the end of his nose hanging over bis mouth, lie was uow unarmed, but his Yorkuhirc blood was raised, and quick as lightning he (matched np the wounded officer's sword, and with the ferocity of a tiger ho rnshod onto the foe. dealing death and destruction at almost every blow, aud in less time than it takes to tell the talc four UIH- sian cavalry men lay dead at his feet. Wounded and blooding, he now turned his attention to the wounded officer, picked him up in his arms as tenderly as a child to convey him to a place of safety, if tuch a plaoe was to be found. During all this tuui ike bullets were falling like hail aroun 1 him. lie had not proceeded far with his burden when he received a ballet in his right shoulder, which almost canned him to drop his burden, but thinking of his charge he pushed on yet the harder, but only to receive another ballet in his left thigh ; still he persevered on bis errand of mercy, and just as lie laid the officer down in a place of safety, his strength gave out and he fell bleed- ing and exhausted to the ground. The day at last came to a close. Inkerman was won, but at what a sac*, rifice. The flower of the army had been cut off on that dreary fifth of No /ember. Many a wife had that day been made a widow, many a child had been left fatherless, many a fond mother had that day been bereft of a son on whom her fond heart doted ; many a young woman had been de- prived of oue on whom she had set her affections, one with whom she had fondly hoped to share her destiny of weal or woe. Yet people talk of the glory of war ! Where is tbe glory, when we consider the misery it leaves in its wake ? What recompense can a widowed mother receive iu exchange for a loving husband aud father? Will the thought of glory bring consolation to the heart of that fond mother who has lost her only sou by the rmhlera hand of war ? Can the name of glory restore the blasted hopes uf that cou- tiding maiden ? Conscience aud com- mon sense answer. No. Why then should people speak of the glory of war t The dreadful carnage it-suit- ing from the fearful straggle at Ink- erman is beyond my ability to de- scribe, and too sickly a subject to dwell upon, so I must return to the subject of my story, whom we left bleeding and faiut by the side of the officer whom he had so gallantly res- cued at the imminent danger of his own life. It is said a good soldier sees no danger ; but he is a true hero who sees danger aud coolly faces it at the risk of his own life to preserve that of a comracb. Tlie night after the battle was a busy one for the surgeons. Never did military surgeons work with a greater zeal than on that 5th of November night. Never did wound- ed men display more courage aud patience than on that night of Inker- man. Here, again, John acted the part of a hero, by refusing to be at- tended to while he saw others whom he thought needed assistance worse than he did. Am' tins noble fellow, faint and bandaged, supported by two of his burly comrades, insisted upon answering to his mime at the muster roll call. But alas ! how many gal- lant fellows had ihat day answered the last assembly call in this world ! liul let us hope that wheu the last trumpet shall sound, those heroi's will rise to receive a reward better. brighter mul more glorious than auy earthly fovureigii can bestow. {To be continued.)
