AD VERTISEMENTS. VII Nervousness and Depression. A person whose Digestion is weak becomes Dyspeptic, Nervous, and generally run-down, because the Body is ill-nourished, and suffers from what is known as mal-nutrition — the Nerves in particular. That is why so many people — especially women—are depressed, morbid, melancholy, irritable, and suffer so terribly from prolonged or intermittent Nervous attacks, facial agonies, Neuralgia, etc. Those who have weak Digestion have urgent need of Guy's Tonic. Those who are nervous and subject to Nerve Pains, Headache, Back- ache, Facial Attacks, also need Guy's Tonic. This Remedy first brings about good Appetite and Perfect Digestion, and thus promotes enjoy- ment of Food, preventing the appearance of unpleasant Symptoms after meals. Guy's Tonic, then, exerts a Constitutional tonic power, which is restorative of waning Nerve Strength by its stimulative action upon the Assimilative tissues of the Body, whose office is to create Nourishment for the Nerves out of the Food you eat and should digest. Declining Energy, waning Strength, loss of Nerve power, and a debilitated Digestion are thus all corrected by the use of Guy's Tonic, and a new lease of life seems, as it were, to be attained to give the patient healthy activity, natural enjoyment, and physical vigour. Mr. W. Campbell Muir, of Inistrynich, Dal- mally, N.B., writes :— \" For four months I was suffering from \" Nausea, Flatulence, and Depression. Oc- \"casionally three days would pass without my \" having eaten solid Food. I tried various \"remedies, which did good for a day or two, \" but the effects were not permanent. I thought \" at last I would try Guy's Tonic, and with great \" pleasure I have to inform you that I had only \" taken half a bottle before my Appetite re- \" turned, the Flatulence disappeared, and I am \"now as well as ever.\" Mrs. Manning, of 89, Roseleigh Street, Clifton- ville, Belfast, writes on February 6th, 1900 :— \" My husband and I have taken Guy's Tonic \"occasionally for some years, and have found \" it very Beneficial and Satisfactory for General \" Debility of the System and Sluggish Liver.\" Edwin H. Stout, Esq., Manager of The Review of Reviews, Mowbray House, Norfolk Street, Strand, London, W.C., writes :— \" I often use Guy's Tonic myself with advan- \" tage, and our Family Doctor frequently pre- \" scribes it as one of the best tonics he can give.\" A new size (Six-Ounce) Bottle of Guy's Tonic, price is. i'.d., is now on Sale at all Chemists and Stores. \" Incomparable I\" 4 /am attlt usimg your INCOMPARABLE fountain pen. > Since /faupfct mit first one in July, 18H6. it htu I i\"'j constant unit rutthnii companion. \"CHACKCEY M.

AD VERTISEMENTS. THE PIANOLA IS A PIANO- PLAYER BY MEANS OF WHICH ANY ONE CAN PLAY THE PIANO THE PIANOLA IS THE ONLY PIANO-PLAYER WHICH HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY MUSICIANS THE PIANOLA Technic supplied Expression subservient to the player The Pianola gives access to the piano literature of the world Endorsed by musicians HE PIANOLA never strikes a false point about the Pianola which note. This is the only is unalterable. In every other way it is subject to the will of the performer. It assures an absolutely correct technic, and overcomes digital difficulties which debar the novice from musical expression and the mastery of which demands so much time from the skilled musician. The sixty-five fingers of the Pianola strike the sixty-five notes of the piano by means of a pneumatic, according to the score of the composition, the elasticity of the air producing a pliant, yielding, and remarkably sympathetic attack that is almost identical with that of the human fingers. The player, by means of levers regulating tempo and forte and pianissimo effects, controls the expression through the fingers of the Pianola as effectively as through the keys of the piano. The cultured musician may throw into his rendition of a simple waltz or a Bach fugue the full power of a musical personality and endow it with all the variations of musical emotion. The Pianola brings the works of the composer nearer, transferring them from paper, containing simply the records of notes, to the piano itself, which produces the reality, and makes the piano literature of the world accessible to every lover of music, whether he be novice or skilled musician, without the necessity of tedious practice. The player is thus left free to interpret his conception of the masters of music, ancient and modern, as his own mind may dictate. The Pianola, is the only piano-player which has been endorsed by musicians. This fact at once gives it a position by itself. It can not be judged by any preestablished opinions. The Pianola must be heard. Every one interested in musical progress or his own musical entertain- ment owes this to himself as well as to the Pianola.

KUTNOW'S POWDER IS AN EXCELLENT SALINE APERIENT, WHICH, BY WASHING OUT THE IMPURITIES WHICH CLOG THE LIVER, RESTORES THAT AND OTHER DIGESTIVE ORGANS TO HEALTHY ACTIVITY. SAMPLES SENT FREE. SAMPLES SENT FREE. The liver is the largest gland in the body. Its duties are numerous and important, and when through over-eating or other carelessness they are made heavier, the liver is likely to l)ecome disordered and diseased. The bile accumulates, poisonous matters get into the blood, the skin becomes sallow and blotched, the spirits depressed, the tongue and breath foul, and the entire system enfeebled and generally run down. Having a close connection with the other digestive organs, many of the ailments supposed to be due to disorders of the stomach and kidneys are really caused by the liver. In nine out of ten persons, an active liver means a good digestive and sound health, and an inactive liver an imperfect digestive and poor health. Headache, languor, lack of appetite, insomnia, nervousness, pains between the shoulders, craving for stimulants, despondency, and nausea are all symptoms of liver derangement. Any sufferers from this derangement who try Kutnow's Improved Effervescent Carlsbad Powder are soon convinced that no other medicine preparation affords a more speedy, certain, and pleasant means of relief. Kutnow's Powder remedies by removing the cause. This cause generally consists of impure matters which accumulate in the liver and prevent its proper action. Kutnow's Powder relieves the liver of these impurities, and removes them from the system. The liver is thereby restored to healthy activity and the other digestive organs are also benefited. Kutnow's Powder is a delightful saline aperient, being composed of all the purifying and curative properties of the famous health springs of the Continent, but with their nauseous, drastic, and weakening features removed. \" Kutnow's \" is a natural tonic, bracing up the system and acting as a general strengthen- ing and cleansing agent. It is composed of substances of the utmost value in purifying the blood, tissue, and body. Its effect on the liver is particularly beneficial, because, by render- ing the bile more fluid, it greatly promotes its flow into the intestines. The stomach is highly stimulated, and all the intestinal juices excited to greater action. Kutnow's Powder overcomes and neutralises all the noxious acids which have been generated in the tissues, and in this way gives relief to sufferers from Gout, Rheumatism, Sciatica, and other diseases which arise from uric acid. After a course of Kutnow's Powder, the languor, headache, depression, nervousness, or other symptoms of a disordered liver you may have experienced will disappear, and you will have increased energy, your spirits will be higher, and your nerves stronger.
