The Quinium Laharraque is an emlnently
tonic and febrifuge Wine, destined to replace
all the other preparations of Peruvian Bark
The Bark Wines usually employed lnme-
dicine are prepared from Barks which vary
considerably in the degree to which they
possess the desired properties. Besides,
owing to the manner in which they are pre-
pared. these Wines contain scarcely more
than the traces of active principles, and
these always in variable proportions.
The Quinium Labarraque, approved by
the Academy of Medicine, constitutes, on the
contrary, a medicine of determined compo-
sition, rich in active principles, and on Wlca
PHYSICIANS and Patients can always rely.
Tie euinium Iabarraque is prescribed
with great success for persons of weak con-
titution, or for those debilitated by various
cxllausting causes or past sickness; for youths
faligued by too rapid growth; for young
girls whose development takes place Wlth
difficulty; for women in childbirth; and Tor
aged persons enfeebled by years or illness.
1t is the best preseryatiye against EeVers:
In cases Of Chlorosis, Anemia, OF Greenslk-
ness, this Wine is powerful auxiliary OF

for example with WALLETS Pills, the raplai-
ty of its action is really marvellous.
