HEALTH RESTORED WITHOUT MEDICINE OR EXPENSE.
DU BARRY'S delicious health-restoring Invalids
and Infants' Food.

THE RE VALENTA ARABIC A.
saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect
digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing
sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or
enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspep-
sia), cough, asthma, consumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea,
all gastric derangements, haemorrhoids. liver complaints, flatu-
lency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria,
catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism,
gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleep-
essness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy,
cramps, spasms, nausea, and sickness, even in pregnancy or at
sea, sinking fits, and bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest,
pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is
the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for
nvalids and infants in all complaints.
IMPORTANT CAUTION.—Beware of the many unsavoury and morn
than slopy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebig's
name is most audaciously attached.
Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du
Barry s health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants'
Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received
from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may
now add that of• his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been
perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical
treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du Midi," July 25th
(Cure No. 48,413) :—" Rome, July 21st. 1866.—The health of the
Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other
remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It
has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his
Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."
Cure No 5 ,2 6 of the Marchioness de Brehan of seven years'
liver complaint, wasting away, debility, nervousness, irritability,
with a nervous palpitation all over, bad digestion, constant sleep-
lessness, and the most intolerable nervous agitation.
Cure No. 78, of dyspepsia, from the Right Hon. the Lord Stuart
de Decies, Lord Lieutenant of the County of Waterford; "I have
derived much benefit from your excellent food.—STUART DE DE-
CIES, Dromana, Cappoquin, County Waterford."
Cure No. 49,832.—0 f fifty years' indescribable agony from
dyspepsia., net vousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency,
spasms, sickness, and vomiting.—Maria Jolly of Lynn, Norfolk.
Cure No. 47,221.—Mi5s Elizabeth Jacobs, of extreme nervous-
ness, indigestion, gatherings, low spirits, and nervous fancies.
Cure No. 56,8 4. Mr. Samuel Caxton, Leicester, of two years'
diarrhoea.

CRYSTAL PALACE. - GREAT FLOWER
ki SHOW of the season and INTERNATIONAL BOUQUET
EXHIBITION, Saturday next, May 21. Owing to the lateness of
the season the show has been fixed one week later than usual,
the advantage of which will be apparent on Saturday next, when
an unusual gathering of floral beauty may be expected. The un-
rivalled capabilities of the Nave, both for floral display and for
promenade, need scarcely be alluded to.
The choice collections of the first private exhibitors, both
amateurs as well as nurserymen, will be exhibited in their un-
rivalled excellence. Special mention may be made of the collec-
tion of plants as arranged for decorative purposes, a feature in-
troduced into the show for the first time.

The Bouquet Classes, in which several continental bouquetistes
will compete, will also form a most interesting feature in the
show. Many lady visitors and private cultivators will again enter
into competition. Palace open at 10 o'clock. Show open about
12. Full Band of the Coldstream Guards, the Company's Orches-
tral Band, 4k,c.
