Solid financially, Mr. Frank iiauor .iko has the good fortune of enjoying solid good health, and if aprx-anuiem indicate anything, it is safe to pnidict that there's a full half century of active life still ahead for him. Hut it's only a few months since, while nursed as an invalid at the Mf. i '!. -1111-1111 sanitary retort, when his friends in Waterloo were dnnnayed with a report that he was at the point of death. ' There's no tolling whero I would have been had I kept on the old treat- ment," said Mr. Bauer, with a merry laugh . the other day, while recounting his eiperiemoes as a very sick man. " Mt.

Then, aathe trouble kept growing, I was getting weaker, and began losing dosh and strength rapidly. My tnmach refused to retain food of any kind. During all this time I WHS under medical treatment, and took f-verything prescribed, but without relief. Just about when my condition seemed .moat hopeless, I heard of a wondprful euro elU-ctod io a case somewhat similar to mine, by the Great South Aiui-ricnn Nervine Tonic, and 1 finally tri.'d tint.

Its instantaneous action in relieving dis- triws and pain is due to the direct effect of thil great rmnody upon the nerve centres, whose figged vitality is energised instantly by the very first dose.

I-AKT V One drizzly morning in January, 1885, I was walking along one of tin- principal street] of my native city, greatly depressed in spirits, as I had recently buried my only surviving relative, aud thus found myself almost a total bit-anger in the place of my nativit. 1 saw standing on the corner of the street a recruiting Ser- geant. His form was still erect and straight as the walking cane he held six yvarf previous, np t) tbo tiini o meeting him that morning lie in turn informed me that shortly after our separation he was attached to tiie scaff of the militia, pending bis dis> charge with [tension.

Further conversation was inter* rnpted by the approach of an officer, whom the old fellow saluted with all the grace ot a well trained recruit, and the two walked off togt liter down the street. 1 felt a litlle annoyed at the interiuption, and being too veil acquainted with military discipline to dunk uf following them to lenew the conversation, I *as obliged to con lent myself by waiting until another oppoilunity otleied lUelf, which I anxiously walchtd for. A week elap beloie I again saw him.
