properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabic's.
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:—" Rome, July 21,1866. The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, be I,as confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabic& 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." We
