BITR0-PHOSPHATE
IS GOOD FOR THIN
NERVOUS PEOPLE

A French scientist has discovered an
organic phosphate which should be very
effective remedy for weak nerves, sleep
lessness, thinness and lack of strength,
energy and yigoP.
Its substance is described by specialists
as identical in composition with certain
vital elements naturally found in brain
and nerve cells and one which when taken
into the human system Is quickly converted
into healthy living tissue.
This phosphate is already widely known
among druggists in this country as Bitro-
Phosphate and some physicians claim that
through its use strength. energy. vigor and
nerve force are frequently increased in two
weeks time.
DIR. Frederick Kolle, Editor of New
York Physicians who's Who" says it
should be prescribed by every doctor and
used in every hospital in the United States
As there are a great variety of so-cailed
phosphates. those who wish to test this
substance should be sure to get the gen.
