The seaweed Tonic is stimulent and none other
is required when it is used. 1t is pure and pleasant;
no bad effects like when using Bourbon Whisky,
which disorders the stomach torpors the liver locks
up all the secretions, turns the blood into water,
dropsy sets in, and the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon Whisky is recommended nowadays by
almost every physician Many patients that visit
my rooms, both male and female stupified with
this poison The relief is temporary. If they
cough they take little whisky; if they feel weak
and feeble they take little whisky; If they cannot
sleep, they take little whisky; and they 60 on in

stomach liver and digestive powers are completely
destroyed and they loose their appetite for food
No one was ever cured of Consumption by this pro-

little stimulent Is frequently beneficial to con-
sumptiyes, such IS pure brandy or good wines-in
many cases, London porter or brown stout in mod
crate quantities; but Bourbon whisky! hastens on,
instead of curing Consumption. &c.
The SEAWEED TONIC produceslasting results,
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and digestive
system and enabling it to eliminate and make into
healthy blood the food which may be used for that
purpose It is wonderful in its effects that wine
