Ii occupies wholly exceptional posi-
ton among stimulants in that tt produces
a pervadins and sustained effect not fol-
lowed by the depression or reaction insep-
arabic from all others.
The Introduction TO civilization OF the
sterculia fruit In practical form Is due
to the efforts of the Brunswick Pharma-
York. whose experiments In the tropical
home OF the tree, covering period OF
several years. have been frequently re-
ferred to by the press throughout the
country.
II strengthens and regulates the action
Of the heart. deepens the breathing. re-
strains the waste of tissue and nerve
force under unusual exertion. and devel-
ops a degree OF physical and psychical
power which surprises all who experience
or witness 1t.
Physicians have commended II for use
in cases of anaemia and weakness from
any form Of functional debility or nerv-
Gus prostration. For chronic invalids and
those who are slowly convaiesctnS after
acute Illness there is nothing to compare
with II In the list of remedies.
In fact Vino kolafra Is In some mys-
FERROUS way remover of vitality, a tonic
In the highest meaning of the word and
governments find IL helpful to armies In
the field. II is certainly an equally tmpor-
tant aid In the hard campaign Of life.
