DR BRIG-HT'S PHOSPHODYNE, 4 Chmiinl Preparation c./' l'ho»phuroun, ,»ith the VcijeUiblp Alkuloiih tjuinia, Cui>ripedcit, Xunlhoj-.ijlin, Ac, Discovered, Introduced, and extensively proscribed by Charles Leslie Bright, M.D., Resident Surgeon to St. Mary's .Hospital London. This Phosphatic combination is pronounced by the most eminent members of the -Medical Profession to be unequalled for its power in replenishing the vitalßy of the body, by it.-; supplying all tho essential con stituents of tho blood and nerve substance, and for developing all the powers and functions of the .system to the highest degree. It is agreeable to the palate and innocent in its action, while retaining all its extraordinary properties, and as a specific surpassing all the known therapeutic agents of the day for the speedy aud permanent cure of- Nervous Prostration Trembling of the hands and Liver Complaints limbs Palpitation of the heart Impaired nutrition Dizziness Mental and physical de- Noises in the head and ears pression Loss of energy and appetite Consumption (in its mci Hypochondria pient or first stages only) Female complaints Eruptions of the skin General debility Impaired sight and memory Indigestion Nervous fancies Flatulence Impoverished fancies Incapacity for study or Impoverished blood business Nervous debility in all its Sick headache stages Lassitude Premature decline Shortness of the breath and all morbid conditions of the system, arising from whatever cause. The action of the Phosphodyne is twofold—o:i tho onu hand increasing the principle which constitutes nervous energy, and on the other, the most powerful bluod and ilosh generating agent known ; therefore, a marvellous medicine for re novating impaired and broken-down constitutions, ft quickly improves the function of assimilation to such a degree that where for years an emaciated, anxious, cadaverous, and semi-vital condition has existed, Hie flesh will rapidly increase in quantity ami firmness, and the whole" system return to a state of robust health. The Phosphodyne acts electrically upon the organi sation ; for instance, it assists nature to generate that human electricity which renews and rebuilds the the osseous, muscular, nervous, membranous, and organic systems. It operates on the .system without exciting care or thought upon the individual as to the process. it moves the lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, Stomach, and intestines, with a harmony, vigour, yet mildness, unparalleled in medicine. The I'hosphodydne gives back to the human struc ture, in suitable" form, the phosphoric or animating element of life which lias been wasted, and exerts an important influence directly on the spinal marrow and nervous system, of a nutritive, tonic, and invigorating character ; maintaining that buoyant energy of the brain and muscular system which renders the mind cheerful, brilliant, and energetic, entirely overcoming that dull, inactive and sluggish disposition which many persons experience in all their actions. The beneficial effects of the Phosphodyne are fre quently shown from the first day of its administration by a remarkable increase of nervous power, with a feeling of vigour and comfort to which tho patient has long been unaccustomed. Digestion is improved ; the appetite increases wonderfully; the bowels become regular ; the eyes brighter; the skin clear and healthy ; and the hair acquires strength, showing the importance of the action of the Phosphodyne on tho organs of nutrition. Finally, tho Phosphodyne maintains a certain degree of activity in the previously debilitated nervous system ; its use enables all delibilated organs to return to their sound state and perform their natural func tions. Persons suffering from Nervous Debility, or any of the hundred symptoms which this distressing disease assumes, may rest assured of an effectual and even speedy cure by the judicious use of this most invaluable remedy. DR. BPJGHT'ti PHOSPHODYNE Is sold only in cases at Cl Is, containing two bottles ; and £2 2s, containing five bottles. Also in family cases at £5, containing sixteen bottles. To bo had of all Chemists and Up - Country Storekeepers throughout tho Colonies. FULL DIRECTIONS FOII USE IN THE ENGLISH, FRENCH, AND GERM AM LANGUAGES AC HUM PAN V EACH CASE. SELECT MEDICAL OPINIONS. Sir Charles Locock, Physical Accoucheur to Her Majesty the Queen, stated at a meeting of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society that in thirteen cases ef deoility and nervous prostration he had effected permanent cures by the use of Dr. Blight's Phosphodyne. Sir Win, Ferguson, Bart., F.R.S., Surgeon to Her Majesty the Queen, says :—-" I have repeatedly proj scribed Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne, and found it an agreeable and beneficial remedy. 1 have but one ob jection regarding it, and that is the elaborate process required in tho preparation will not allow of > the retail prices being within the reach of all classes." Dr. Lancaster, the eminent Coroner, says:— Dr Bright's Phosphodyne is calculated to entirely super sede iron, mercury, sarsaparilla, quinine, and cod-liver Dr. It. Quain, F.R.C. P., Physician to the Hospital for Consumption, Brompton, remarks:--" Itcannot be doubted that this Phosphatic preparation will hence forth rank foremost in therapeutics ; it generates all the important elements of the human frame, the peculiar character of this substance litting it for vital uses." • _~,., Sir T. Lawrence says:—" I have found Dr. Bright s Phosphodyne an excellent remedy in skin diseases. I presume it is by oxyclis>ation." Professor Syme says :—" The effects of the Phos phodyne in obstinate cases of disease are as astonish ing as perplexing." . . Dr. Haniield Jones, F.R.C.P., F.R.S.. Physician to St. Marys Hospital, says, in Athropy and General Debility Phosphodyne is a most admirable remedy ; it invigorates the nutritive functions, and increases the vital energy—"it not only acts as an absorbent," but retards or repairs the waste of tissue, and restores the nutritive functions to their normal condition. The Lancet Considers the Phosphodyne one of the most important contributions made to Materia Medica during the last century. Pamphlets containing Testimonials may be obtained from all Chemists and Up-Country Storekeepers. gST Caution. —Be particular to ask for Dr. Bright s Phosphodyne, as Imitations are abroad ; and avoid purchasing Single Bottles, the Genuine Article being sold in cases only.
