Paina and Distress after Eating, and al l functional derangements' of the systen „ of nutrition ! 0 •■ _ [■ NOTE THIS WJEILI-,,- --. The whole system of a human being may be B perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the • t\. of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impover- ishment of the whole being. Such a con- dition oauses thousands of people to fanoy 1 that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to sco the organs of the body working harmoniously. 1 Reason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must oreate an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it beoomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum j is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and itß first aotion is to oreate hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acta directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, oiearing away ali effete matter and exoiting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the prcper assimila' tion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom* mended to be "just aB good.'. It may be better — for the dealer — beoauee of itß better ! profit, but m such an instance the'dealer ia not the one who needs help. FROM ALL OHEMISTS & STORE* KEEPERS. PRIOE 2b Qv
