Ch emists. CAMBRIDGE’S ORANGE-QUININE TONIC WINE IS acknowledged to be the mostagreeable and efficacious Tonic Stomachic yet pro duced. It contains thevaluableTonicproper ties of Peruvian Bark (“Quinine!’) with the Stomachic properties of the Bitter Seville Orange, so combined as not to be objec tionable to the most delicate invalid ; and, as a “BITTERS,” is far superior to all other preparations. Invaluable to all suffering from loss of appetite, indigestion, general debility, nervous affections, tic, ague, and derangement 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 trken 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. By pouring the required dose of the oil into half a -wine-glass of the “ Orange Quinine Wine ” scarcely a flavour of the oil is tasted, and the wine materially assists the oil in its beneficial operations. Price, 4s. Gd. per wine bottle, and sent (carriage free) in cases containing one dozen, at 48s. Sold retail by all Chemists, and manufactured by J. M. CAMBRIDGE, Medical Hall, Ashburton.
