is, and what il will do. In tho first place. then
The article stimulant, tonic and alt craive con-
ssting Of combination of an absolutely pure
sprituous agent with tho most valuable medicinal
vegetable substances that Botanic research has
placed at the disposal Of the chemist and the ply
sican. These ingredients arc compounded with
great care, and in such proportions as TO produce
preparation which invigoratcs without exciting
the general system, AMI tones, regulates and con-
trolls the stomach, the bowels, the liver and the
minor sccrc,vc organs
What this great restorative will do must be
gathered from what il has done. The case of dys-
p"psia, or any other form of indigestion, iu which
il has been pcrsistcntly administered without cf-
rccins radical cure is yet to be heard from, and
the same may be said Of bilious disorders, inter
mittcnt fever, nervous affections, general debility,
constipation, sick headache mental disabilities to
which the feeble arc subject. II puriics all the
fluids of the body, including the blood, and the
gentle stimulus which it mrarts TO the nervous
system is not succeeded by the slightest re action
This is Il chapter of facts which readers for their
