As n, cure fur every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which. is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effeets upon the youugest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion. and impaired diges-
ties, When there is an insufficient supply of note° food in. the blood, a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow-, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the •
right kind of food is supplied; 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 are carried on, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not cone
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all foe= of nervous de-
rangement.
