liver, purihes and enriches the blood,
builds new and healthy flesh tissue, tones
the nerves and gives sweet and refreshing
sleep. 1t IS the great blood-imaker and
flesh builder. 1t cures oS per cent. of all
cases of all diseases of the air passages that
lead up to consumption. 1t is a wonderful
medicine for all diseases due to insufficient
