ed. In chrouic dyspepsia, and liver COM

other obstinate diseases, it is beyond Eli
comparison the best remedy that can be
taken. AS means of res oring the strength
and vital energy Of persons who are sink
ing under the facilitating effects of PAIN
ful disorders, this standard vegetable in
vigorant is confessedly unequaIled. The
permanent tones included in the prepara-
lion are associated with a dif'usible stimu-
liant absolutely pure, and the tendency of
these elements is modified by the presence
