I Invaluable to all suffering from loss of appetite, indigestion, general debility, ner vous affections, tic, ague, and derange ment of the system. When the stomach has become enfeebled or disarranged by disease, excess, or irregularities, or the appetite is impaired by mental or bodily exertion, or from any cause whatever, it gives a regularity and tone which is not obtained by any other medicine. One, two, or three wine-glass fuls may be t?ken during the day by persons suffering from the above com plaints, with the greatest benefit. It is highly recommended by the medical pro fession to be taken whenever Cod Liver Oil is ordered.
