scHENcx,s SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethaIgy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and
frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, par
ticulary those suffering from the effects of debli-
ting diseases. In order to keep natural health
full activity of the system must resort to artlf-
cial means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very efrectual few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vgOr to the enervated body
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are gener-
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic in It's nature is totally different from such
drugs, 1t contains no corrosive minerals or acids
in fact it assists the regular operations of nature
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its M
ture much resembles the gastric juice that it is
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition
| of the body causes the food to be digested; and
when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quaint
ties Indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms
follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty
| of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient
