densed form all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the

diseases as locOmotOr ataxia, partial

eases depending upon vitiated humoIs

for troubles peculiar to females, sucn
as suppressions, irregularities, and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood and restore the glow of health to
pale or sallow cheeks. In the case OF
men they effect a radical cure in all
cases arising from mental worry, over
work, or excuses of whatever nature
