Thin, Nervous People
phosphate

Weak, thin people-men or women
are nearly always nervous wrecks; thus
conclusively proving that thinness,
weakness debility and neurasthenia are
almost invariably due to nerve starva-
tion. Feed your nerves and all these
symptoms due to nerve starvation Will
disappear.
Eminent specialists state that, one OF
the best things for the nerves is an or
| ranic phosphate known among drug
gists as Phosphate, a five-grain
/ tablet Of which should be taken with
each meal. Being a genuine nerve builder
and not a stimulant or habit-forming
/ drug, BitrO- Phosphate can be safely
taken by the weakest and most delicate
sufferer, and the results following its
use are often simply astonishing.
BY strengthening the nerves, weak,
tired people regain energy and vigori
thinness and angularity give way to
piumpness and curves; sleep returns to
the sleepless; confidence and cheerful
ness replace debility and gloom; dull
ewes become bright, and pale, sunken
cheeks regain the pink glow OF health
II is sold by n. b. Danforth and all good
druggists.
CAuTION-Bitro-P Phosphate, the use Of
which is inexpensive, also wonderfully
promotes the assimilation OF food, so
much so that many people report marked
gains Of weight in a few weeks. Those
taking it who do not desire TO put on
flesh, should use extra care in avoiding
