MudeMt Cliiiing Often Carry the Most
Conviction,
When Maxim, the famous gun la
ventor, placed his gun before a com,
mittee of judges, he stated its carrying;
power to be much below what he felt
sure the gun whould accomplish. The
result of the trial was therefore a great
surprise, Instead of disappointment. It Is

complish, but perfer to let the users
make the statements. What they do
claim, Is that it will positively cura
diarrhoea, dysentery, pains in the stom
ach and bowels and has never been
known to fail, For sale by W. P. McMillan.
