upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy
compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder ana
6trengthener of the life forces of the human body and as a great renewer ©/
a broken down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in th*
treatment and cure of diseases of the Lungs than any ten consumption for rem¬

of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known

NERVOUS DISEASES.
As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able
to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in
all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individ¬
ual. Nine-tenths cf all the ailments to which the human, family is heir, art
dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an,
insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of
the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, lik®
starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and
a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As th®
nervous system must supply all the power by wbicb the vital forces of th®
body are carried on, it is tbe first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition.
Ordinary food doe3 not contain a sufficient quantity of tbe kind of nutriment
v icessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor impose*
upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food b®
supplied. This recent production of the South A merican Continent has bee*
found, by analysis, to contain tho essential elements out of which nerve tissu®
is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervou*
