DR.. Geo. w. Carey in his book on

says:
When the medical profession fully

The gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
ceil-salt, potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
oy the addition of oxygen creates nerve
duid, or the gray matter of the brain.
"Of course, there is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in

Phosphate of Potash, is to my
mind. the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man, and
the blessings it has already conferred
on the race are many But what
