Vim Mariani (Mariani Wine) tones up

blood, steadies the nerves and energies
the whole system.
From the Virginia Medical Journals
The Vim Mariani, used as general
tonic, has gained for itself universal
esteem. 1t is more tonic than iron or
quinine, and does not produce constipa-
ton. We have used Vim Mariani in
practice, and have found it to equal the

deems it advisable 10 proceed cautiously and to
conceal its decisions for the present.
VI. Delcasse. Minister for Foreign Affairs, Is
said to have been violently attacked by his col
leagues for having been ignorant Of the inten-
tion OF Emperor Nicholas TO issue his disarma-
ment proclamation. but in face Of the revival Of
the Drcyfus affair the disarmament proposal
has taken quite a secondary place.
1t is alleged that several Ministers including

the Colonies demanded revision and the i'm
