As a cure for Query Class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Topic, -which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its etTects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual, Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human
family is heir aro dependent ent nervous exhaustion and impaired diges•
Hee, When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a
general state of debility or the brain, spinal marrow, mid nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, hymnal 'strong when the
right kind of food is stlpplied; and a thousand weaknesses and :ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body arc carried on, ft is the
first to suffer for want of perfect antrition. Ordinary food does not con-
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind Or nutriment necessary to repair
the wear mar present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this eeasen 16 becomes necessary that a nerve food bo supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
