NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for' every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to eomparo with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest caild or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all the ailmonts to which the human family is heir, are dependent on nervous e xhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve 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 ".he power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the fii-st to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain 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 nectasary that a nerve food be supplied. This recent production of the South American Continent has been found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous

derangements, CBaITFOKDSYILLI, I'JD., Aug. 20, '58.

Indigestion, Nervous Prostration and a general shattered eomlition of my whole system. Had riven up all hopes of gettingwell. Had tried three doctors with no relief.
