The Remarkable MOyie Business.

Seven years ago Lieutenant Moxie, while
exploring in Central and South America,
found the natives using the extract from a
sugarcane-like plant with most remarkable
results after severe, fatiguing labor, dissi-
patton and heavy losses of blood Examin-
alton under the microscope determined it to
be a rich vegetable albuminoid. 1t was
brought to the United States and tested
In weakly, exhausted persons, it seemed to
feed the nerves to a remarkable durable
vigor and did not stimulate or lose its eff
feet more than other food. 1t recovered
large number of helpless cases of paraly-
sis of long standing, caused by excessive
overwork and study, but did not affect pa
ralysis caused by the effusion of fluids
around the trunks of the nerves. Now
every tired-out, overworked, nervous and
weakly person in the country is using it as
common beverage. The druggists are
loaded up with it, and grocers leave it with
their family trade, as they do other foods.
1t sells to both sick and well, everywhere it
is known. Probably no one thing ever so
completely took this country by storm as
Moxie. Its usefulness among all classes
of complaints, often with medicine, has no
limit. Physicians say that the nerves are
the seat of animal life, and their force gov
ems the functions of the body. If the
nerves are strong enough to execute these,
the body is healthy. If not, health is i'm
possible. The intense rush and overwork
OF our people constantly overtask and break
down the nerves, and probably millions of
our people now take Moxie the year round
to sustain or mend the i'll effects of this
overstrain. The possibilities of its business
limits cannot be seen now. 1t will soon be
as colossal as the trade in tea and coffee.
1t is cheaper, -twenty-fv cents for a quart
bottle.

Mr.. CHARLTON, M. p, created sensation
at Ottawa, Ont, last week, by moving in
parliament non-confidence vote in the
government. He accused the govern
ment of reckless extravaganza, show
ing the utter failure of their policy to &C
complish anything but increased taxation
and the piling up of a colossal national debt,
amounting now to over $500, 900, 900. Since
1878 the customs taxes had increased sixty
three per cent, while the population had in
that time only increased twenty per cent.
He moved that the house express its regret
that the increase of customs taxation and
expenditure should have been permitted to
reach ratio three times greater than the
increase of population and that no inconsid-
cradle portion of the expenditure had been
absorbed by grants made for political pur-
poses, and that the house expresses the
opinion that the enormous annual expendi-
ture places a burden upon the Canadians so
serious in amount that strict, honest and
rigid economy in the management Of the
finances of the Dominion should be prac-
ticed in future, with view to lessening the
public burdens. The motion was tabled,
and will be called up at an early day.
