 This increase in weight also carries with it general improvement in the health. Nervousness. Sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinnegs, soon dis appear. dull eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.
 Physicians and hospitals everywhere are now recognizing it's merits by it's use in ever increasing quantities. Fred erick kelle NJ D., editor of New York Physicians Who's Who,' says: "Bftro- Phosphate should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hospital to increase strength and nerve force and to enrich the blood"
 Joseph D. Harrigan, former visiting specialist to North Eastern Dispensa- tory, says: Let those who are weak, thin, nervous, anaemic or rundown, take a natural, unadulterated strength and tissue building substance such as bitro-p phosphate and you will soon see some astonishing results. in the increase of nerve energy, strength of body and mind and power of endurance" CAUTION: = Although Bftro-P -Phos- phate is unsurpassed for relieving ner- vousness, sleeplessness and general weakness. owing to it's remarkable flesh growing properties it should not be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.
