WHERE HELP Is NEEDED

Is at that sorrowful stage of life when
the blood and system have become i'm.
Poverished BY old age or disease. Par.
ker's Ginger Tonic is q powerful invig-
GRANT. and affords just the help thai the
aged. the feeble. and the convalescent
require, because it insures perfect diges.
ton and enjoyment of the food, enriches
the blood, and arouses the dormant
energies Of the debilitated organs. While
it never intOxicates nor creates any
desire for stimulants, it diffuses warmth
and vigor throughout the system, re.
news the appetite, soothes the nerves,
banishes melancholy. and eiyes stseneth
not possessed by Ginger are added to this
different from Essence of Ginger and
free from their constituting effect. Buy
