The Most Astonishing

tne JasL une Jtiunarea Years. , It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It Is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk.

this wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the Great South American Medicine Company, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long teen known by the native inhab

itants ot ooutn America, who rely almost wholly upon its great medicinal poicsrs to cure every form of disease by which they are overtaken. This new and vnluablo South American medicine possesses powers and qualities hitherto unknown to the medical profession. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, and diseases of the general Nervous System. It also cures all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the Great Nervine Tonic qualities which it possesses and by its great curative powers

upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the ..iver and the Dowels, jn o remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strengthener of the life forces of the human body and as a great renewer of

a broken down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the Lung.5 than any ten consumption remedies ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness

of females of all ages. Ladies who are

as change in lite, should not tail to use this great JServine Ionic almost constantly for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthened and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will

give them a new bold on lite. Jit will add ten or mieen years to the lives oi many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year.

NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for 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 effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all the,o,ilments to wh'ch the human family is heir, ore dependent on nervous exhaustion 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 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 contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor Imposes noon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary,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
