Nervous and Constitutional DiSea-
Geg,

These pills possess specific aefiop on tho
nervous sy steru, and although they are prepa-
red especially for the purpose of curing Fits
they will be found Of especial benefit to all per-
son afflicted with weak nerves, or whose ner-
vous system has been prostrated or shatterd,
from any cause whatever; in fact it is almost
impossible TO convey adequate idea of the
,peedy and almost miraculous results which
these pills effect in the diseased, broken down
fr ,nrostrated nervous systems. Persons who
were all lassitude, weakness and debility, be-
fore their use, at once become rohustand full Of
energy. No matter whether the constitution
has been broken down by excess, weak by ma
ture, or debilitated by sickness, their ELECTION
the unstrung and shattered nervous organixa-
tion is equally certain and apparent. In cases
Of neuralgia, headache, vertigo, pain in the
nerves of the face, and the various train Of ner-
vous affections, palpitation Of the heart, period
ical headaches, cold and shivered state of the
frame, frequent hts Of abstraction, total insbli-
ty dislike to society, melancholy, religious mo-
nomania, heats and fiushcs of the face on the
slightest occasion, desire that existence should
terminate; they will produce cure in an aston
iishngly short period of time, and il will alos
remove depression, excitement, a tendency to
blush, restlessness, ,sceplessness, ,incapacty for
study or business, loss of memory, confusion,
| eiddness, blood to the head, mental debility,
hysteria, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts'o oil
| self destruction, fear of insanity, &c., &c.:--
| They will increase and restore the appetite
! strengthen the emaciated, renew the health OF
| those who have destroy ed it by exc. sses, and
induce continual checrfnlness and eauanimity
of spirits, and prolong life.
