Only the weak need a tonic. People are
never weak except from some good cause.
One of the obscure causes of weakness and
the one ~oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh iniiames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
form of mucus. This discharge of mueus is
the same as the loss OF blood. 1t produces
weakness.
