POINTS THE WAY TO PERFECT HEALTH
South Amerienn Nervine.
The Great Health .Restorer of the
Century.
Sickness Cannot Cupp With It.
Has Cured the 1Yorst. Crises on Rec-
ord.
Cures at the Nerve Centres and Thus
Cures Permaneully,
A Wonderful Specific in All Cases of
Indigestion, Dyspepsia. Sisk headache,
Nervousness and Cenerni Debility.
Has No Equal ccs to Spring Medicine.
There is a groat deal or uncertainty
in the methods adopted lo remove dis-
ease. Doctors are not free from this
Icind.of thing themselves. The poor pa-
tient hes to put up with a good deal o1
experimenting. The discoverer of South
American Nervine takes too serious a
view of life to piny pranks of 111s kind.
Ile sloes not think titer these, human
bodies of ours should be fooled with. He
has recognized that they are subject to
disease, but, by soimititie methods, he
has learned that just as the watch is to
be put in perfect repair only when the
mule,-sprirg is kept in running order, so
with the individual, he remains in per -
feet 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 rause relief for
the moment. Nervine is an indisputably
successful remedy for the worst cases of
h
indigestion, s ' '
on I,ernuse it reaches
the source
of al �o a
1 atm ch troubles—the
nerve cen-
tres. Indigestion exists because fbe
vital forces have become diseased and
are weakened. Nervine builds up the
nerve centres, from which come these
forces, removes the causes of indiges-
tion, and then builds up the health com-
pletely.
How many systems are run down
through nervousness. A stimulant may
give nervous
troubles. b
e'NervIne t it will not
cured cure
des-
perate cases of nervousness than any
other medicine anywhere. And it doe
so for the same reason that it cures in-
digestion. The nerve centres are de-
ranged. or there would be no victims of
nervousness. 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-
poverisbed. 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 eau take a bot-
tle of Nervine at this season of the
year without disease quickly giving way
to abounding bealth.
The moral is Iain simple an
understood. If you wouldpnot triflewith
disease, then your will take South Amer-
ican Nervine, which wilt not trifle with
you.
