But whether you are accepted is another question. . HYHENEAL.â€"A quiet wedding took place here on the 18th inst, when Mrs. Weldon and Mr. Sanderson were joined together by the Rev. 8. MeAuley.

PROSTRATED FOR TWO YEARS WITH LIVER COMPLAINT. Restored to Perfect Health by South American Nervine was Mr. W. J. Hill, of Bracebridge, Out When men and women can be got away from simply temporizing with disease there will be less disesse in the world. The immediate matter it is natural. is to relieve the present trouble. But how ofren is it forgotten that any cure that is only skin deep, if we may use the expression, cannot be lasting. 1t will certainly turn up again. This was the case with Mr. W. J. Hill, the well-known boilifl of Bracebridgc, Ont. He had suffered from severe liver trouble and nervous prosrration for nearly three years. During this time he doctored to no end, and occasioimliy secured a little temporary relief. .b'ot American Nervine, with little hope th it it would be any better than other medi- oines he had taken. But he soon discovered the mistake. Where doctors had said that he must die, this medicine gave him life. He persevered with it, and to-day is in possession of robust health. . The secret is this : South Amer- ican Nervine treats with the nerve centres, from which flows the life blood that keeps the system in perfect health. When these nerve centres are kept healthy, neither liver com 'nt nor other troubles will worry one. r. Hill’s cure was lasting for this reason.
