[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Avoid Medicines: they always .aggrayate
chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring
Revalenta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourish-
ment of the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other remedies,
and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound
lungs, healthy liver, pure blood: refreshing sleep, functional
regularity, and energy to the must disordered or enfeebled. We
extract a few out of 68,000 cures ;—" The Pope's health restored
by Du Barry';: Food. Cure Nu. 68,413. " Rome, July 21, 1866.
—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since,
abandoning all other remedies, ho has confined himself entirely
to Du Barry's Reva.lenta, Arabica Food, of which ho consumes
a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly bene-
ficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excel
lent food too highly." From the " Gazette du Midi, July 25 Cure
