THE ASHBUREON GUAEDIAN: MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1892.



Stop I>rinliing. ♦ " I can't" are two little words seldom used by a man who drinks ; to use them he thinks is an evidence of weakness, and so we wonder why, when he quits, he doesn't stay quit. If we knew all, our wonder would be, with that terrible craving at his vitals, he is able to resist even for a short time—a craving on which will-power, moral suasion, the pledge, self-respect, have no effect whatever, and which until recently has been an insur mountable bar to reform in thousands upon thousands of cases. But the time has come when that craving can be stopped ! Sure. Just as sute as it is possible to cure a cold. The appetite can be destroyed ; the man placed back, so far as drinking is concerned, just where he was before he acquired the habit. The cure does not destroy the will, but the appetite. So he will have to learn to drink all over again, and the effort will be so great that if he is worth saving he won't make it. R. T. Booth's Golden Remedy No. 1 destroys the drink appetite. R. T. Booth's Golden Remedy No. 2 is the best brain and nerve tonic on this earth. At all chemists and storekeepers —(Advt). 10*16 TO MAKE Nicest Scones, Nicest Pastry, Nicest Cakes, Uae Atjlsebbook's Self -Raisina Flour.

MyCOEMICK'S STEEL BINDERS. TIVE, SIX, AND SEVEN-FEET CUT. TH3 " Machine of Steel," would never have been built had McCormick been con tent to stop when their self-binding harvester was considered by thousands to bego»d enough. "Advance and improvement " the policy of the McCormick Com paiy. It is striving at all times to anticipate the wants of the agriculturists, and to make machines for handling grain and grass more perfect than any other machines onthsfarm. THE FRUIT OP THIS POLICY is seen in the immense sale of the McCORMICK. The people of the world demand and will buy the best, even though the cheap is offered them at far less price. While McCormick machines are recognised world widens the best, the Government of the U.S. specifying them as the standard, still at home and abroad, in the competitive field trial with a combined opposition whose cry is *» McCormick must not win," NINE TIMES OUT OP TEN THE McCORMICK IS VICTOR. The segregate of all the prizes won by all makes of machine, both home and foreign, do not equal the prizes won by the McCormick. But the MrCormick has done moretlan this ; it has pleased the critical farmers of the world. John Orr and Co., AGENTS.
