Il had an attack of nervousness about
two years ago which caused paralysis
of the nerves. and for months 1 could
not use either arm to feed or clothe
myself with. l was treated by first
class physicians and surgeons, who
temporarily helped me, but was told
nothing could permanently cure me.
After that at night. when sleeping my
arms and legs would jump and twitch
and wake me up because OF the intense
pain. During these spells l would not
be able to move either arm for Is or
20 minutes: then the power would gra-
du2lly come back. l had tried about
every nerve tonic. but got no perma-
Quinona by a friend. l have been TAX
ing it about six weeks and l can now
honestly say that I have not felt any
numbness or twitching in either arm
or nerves. and have enjoyed 4 good
nights rest every night for the past
two weeks.- l recommend it to all
mankind who have any nervous troub-
les as a sure relief and positive cure.

PARIS CHANGES VIEW.
New Sees a Very Good Chance for
Preserving Peace.

Paris. Jan. 15.-In spite of the pessi-
niistic tone at other capitals in rela-
ton to the Russo-Japanese situation
the belief that there is a chance of
peace still prevails in official and dip
'omatic circles here. Reports were cir
culated on the Bourse, this afternoon
that NJ. Delcasse in explaining the sit
uation to the cabinet indicated that
there was little chance of escape from
war, but this was anthoritatively de-
MED. The foreign office further de-
clared that no tender of good offices
had yet been made through NJ. Nell
doif the Russian amba ssador to the
Russian government and that no action
of this kind had been taken with re-
spect to Japan.
The opinion in official circles here is
reelected in the general optimistic SEN
tnent of the press, which minimizes
the gravity of the present crisis.
