A remedy which acts through the
fonctions of nutrition, by the building
up of new and healthy tissues is not
to be expected to manifest its action
in a few days.
When the disease is of recent ori-
gin, this early and immediate action
will often be met with. Otherwise,
when it has already lasted some time,
the action of the remedy must be
chronic like the dise}se itself.
This is why the length of the use
of S. JAMES WAPERswill vary with
every individual case ; but it is a fact
which no one will, now deny that in
the treatment of general debility ST.
JAMns WAFERS produce remarkable,
and in some cases, immediate effects.
ST. JAMES WAFERS help stomach,
digest food and send the nutriment
t;ttttnnh the blood, and this is the
honest way to get health and strength,
the kind that lasts, develops and
breeds the energy which accomplisl}es
much.
"In dtsea+es of the atoned + St.
James Wafers are almost if net
quite a 'maniac. I have great
faith In them."
