MEANS For this purpose schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very effectual A few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervaed body
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by The drugs which are general
ly employed for the purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic
in It's nature is totally different from such drugs.
1t contains no corrosive minerals or acids; In fact
1t assists the regular operations of nature, and sup
plies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature 40
much resembles the gastric juice that 1t is almost
identical with that fluid. The gastric juice is the
natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the
body, causes the food to be digested; and when
this juice is not excreed Is sufficient quantities, in
digestion, with all its distressing symptoms, fol-
lows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of
the gastric Juice when the latter is efficient.
