He has got a matched team now. ’ That’s the sensation experienced by Robert Price of Hecton, Ont. He knew it was sciatica and of course used “Nerviline.” As usual it cured and he says: “No liniment can excel Polson’s Nerviline. Severe pains made my side lame. It was like a steel knife running through the flesh. I rubbed in lots of Nerviline and was completely cured.” A regular snap for Nervilme to ease Sciatica and rheumatism.

Contemporaneous With the Exposi- tion will be held on the waters of Hampton Roads the greatest naval pageant ever witnessed in the world, in Which every type of war vessel from the navies of all foreign nations will participate. Another attractive fea- ture will be the international military encampment in which detachments of trOOps of foreign countries will unite with the soldiers of the United States in a series of drills, manoeuvres, par- ades, etc. No section of the country is so hal- lowed by history-making events as that portion of Virginia on and about the historic waters of Hampton Roads, wherein this exposition commemorat- ing the three hundredth anniversary of the first English speaking settle- ment in America, is to be held. For this reason the settlement will embody not only an industrial, commercial and educational display, but an elab- orate historical review of the growth and progress of the entire country during the three hundred years of its existence. Of all exhibitions held in the United States since the Philadelphia Centen- nial in 1876, the Jamestown Ter-Cen- tennial to be held on the shores and waters of Hampton Roads near the cities of Norfolk. Portsmouth and Newport News, Va., April 26 to No- vember 30, of this year is the most unique, and in originality and novelty will completely eclipse all previous expositions. THE GREATEST 0F EXPOSITION S. The industrial display, while it will compare favorably with those of any of the previous expositions, will be selec- tive '°ather than general, including every branch of industry, but selecting a typical exhibit of each. In this manner visxtors to the Ter-Centennial Will have the pleasure of viewing a comprehensive display of the inclus- tries without having to wade through an endless labyrinth of similar ex- hihits. They lead to pleurisy and pneu- monia. Follow the advice of W. H. Powles of Powle’s Corners Ont, who says: ”I used to be subject to at- tacks and although I used most every- thing nothing: relieved quickly till I discovered Nerviline. I have used it for pleurisy and sore chest and found it just the proper thing. For Lum- baao Neuralgia it’s quick as light- ning. I cheerfully recommend Net viline.” Strongest, cleaneSL, most pain destroying linimnet on earth is Polson’s Nerviline. 25c bottles sold everywhere. ' In assembling the exhibits, especially those representing the varied indus- tries and the liberal arts, the managers of the Exposition have been careful to select only such as show the latest and best attainments in every line of in- dustry. Hence, it will be the first “ selective” Exposition held in the United States. A good stone dwelling. in upper town, known as the Parker property on Garafraxa street. Good stable, hard and soft water, and good bear- ing orchard. For further particulars apply to W. J. FIRTH, The landscape design together with the natural beauties of the grounds and the artistic exsosition Government and State buildings, grouped along the waterfront, will go to make up the most attractive exposition that the world has ever seen. Many reasons combine to make the celebration the most successful ever attempted, and when President Roosevelt touches an electric button April 26 of this year, signifying the formal opening of the formal opening of the gates, the thous- ands of visitors will not be disappoint- ed in the wonders and attractions of Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition.
