Balance has fully established the
fast that all the nervous energy of our
bodies is generated by nerve centras
located near the base of the brain.
When the supply of nerve force bas
bean diminished either by excessive
physioal or mental labours, or owing to
a derangement of the nerve centres, we
are first conscious of a languor or tired
mad worn-out feeling, then of a mild
form of nervousness, headache, or
stomach trouble, whish is perhaps suc-
ceeded by nervous proatration,ohronio
indigestion, and dyspepsia, and a gen-
eral sinking of the whole system. In
this day of hurry, fret and worry, there
are very few who enjoy perfect health;
nearly everyone has some trouble, an
ache, or pain, a weakness, a nerve
trouble, something wrong with the
stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart
disease, or sick headache; all of which
are brought on by a lack of nervous
energy to enable the different organs of
the body to perform their respective
work.
South American Nervine Tonic, the
marvellous nerve food and health giver,
is asatisfyingsuccess, e, wondrous boon
to tired, siois, and overworked men
and women, who have suffered years
of discouragement and tried all manner
of remedies without benefit. It is a
modern, a scientific remedy, and in its
wake follows 'abounding health.
It is unlike all other remedies in
that it is not designed to act on the
different organs affected, but by its
direct action on the nerve centres,

writes as follows :—
" I owe my life to the great South

been in bed for five months with a
scrofulous tumour in my right side,
and suffered with indigestion and
nervous prostration. Had given u
all hopes of getting well. Had tried

me so mush that I was able to walk
about, and a few bottlea onred me en-
