There la a great deal of uncertainty en the methods adopted to remove dis- ease,' Doctors are not free from this kind of thing themselves. The poor pa- tient has to put up with a good deal of enperixaentings The discoverer a South American Nervine takes too serious a view of life to play pranks of this kind. He does not think that these humau bodies of ours should be tooled with. He has recognised that they are subject to disease, line by scientific methods, he has learned that Just as the watch is to be put in perfect repair only when the main-enthig is ki ept n running order, so With the individual, he remains in per- fect health only when the nerve centres are kept healthful and strong. What disease is more distressing than indigestion or dyspepsia? Some simple remedy may be given to cause relief for the moment. Nervine is an indisputably suecessful remedy for the worst eases of Indigestion, because it reaches the source at all stomach troubles --the nerve cen- tres. Indigestion exists because the vital forces have become diseased anAl are weakened. Nerviue builds up the nerve centres, froni which come these forces, removes the causes of indiges- tion, and then builds up the health com- pletely. How many systems are run doss* through nervousness. A stimulant may give ease, but it will not cure nervous troubles. Nervine has cured more des. perste cases of nervousness than anye other medicine anywhere. And it does so for the same reason that it cures in- digestion. The nerve centres are de- ranged, or there would be no victims of nervonaness. Nervine rebuilds and strengthens the nerve tissues, and hence Its marvellous powers in diseases of this kind. In the spring of the year the strong- est suffer from general debility. The blood. through neglect, has become im- poverished, and the whole system gets* out of order. We speak of it as a spring medicine. Nervine restores the exhausted vital forces that have led to this tired, don't -care, played -out, miser- able condition. No one ca.n take a bot- tle of Nervine at this season of the year without disease quickly giving way to abounding health. The moral is plain, sinanle and readily, -anderstood. If you would tot trifle with' disease, then you will take South Amer- ican Nervine, which will not trifie with you. Q.LITTZ 'Sole Wholesale and Retail Agent for Exeter. TEM. WICIEETT, Orecliton.
