UNDER DISTINGUISHED PATRONAGE. DR BRIGHT'S PHOSPPIODYNE, A Chemical Preparation of Phosphorous, with the Vegetable Alkaloids Qmnia, Cypripeden, Xanthoxylin, <£*&, Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescilbed by Chables Leslie Bbjuht.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 unequa Aled for its power in replenishing the vitality of the body, by its supplying all the essential con stituents of the 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 m its action while retaining al\ its extraordinary properties, and asa specific surpassing all the known therapeutic agents of the day for the speedy and permanent cv~e Nervous Prostration Trembling of the hands and Liver Complaints limbs Palpitation of the heal i Impaired nutrition Dizziness Mental and physical Cle- 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, ailsingfrom whatever cause. The action of the Phosphodyne is twofold—on the one hand increasing the principle which constitutes nervous energy, and on the other, the most powerful blood and ilesh generating agent known ; therefore, a marvellous medicine for re novating impaired and broken-down constitutions. It quic!-'y improves the function of assimilation to such a degree that where for years an emaciated, anxious, cadave/ous, and semi-vital condition has existed, the flesh v. 1)1 rapidly increase in quantity and firmness, and the whole system return to a state of robust health. The Phosphodj ac acts electrically upon the orgari 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, Hdneys, stomach, and intestines, T\lth a harmony, vigor-, yet mildness, unparalleled in medicine. The Phosphodydne gives back to the human struc ture, lv suitable form, the phosphoric or animating element of life which nas 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 slusgish disposition which many persons experience in a'l their actions. Tke beneficial effects of the Phosphodviie 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 the patient has long been unaccustomed. Disestion 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 the organs of nutrition. Finally, the 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. BRIGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE Is sold only in cases at £1 Is, containing two bottles ; and £2 2s, containing five bottles. Also in family cases at £5, containing sixteen bottles. To be had of all Chemists and Up-Country Storekeepers throughout the Colonies. FULL DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN THE ENGLISH, FIIBNCH, AND GERMAM LANGUAGES AC COMPANY EACH CASE. SELECT MEDICAL OPINIONS. Sir Charles Locock, Physical Accoucheur to Her Majesty the Queen, stated at a meeting of the Royal Medical and Ohirurgical Society that in thirteen cases ©f deDility and nervous prostration he had effected permanent cures by the use of Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne. Sir Wm. Ferguson, Bart., F.R.S., Surgeon to Her Majesty the Queen, says : —" I have repeatedly prej scribed Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne, and found it aa agreeable and beneficial remedy. I have but one ob jection regarding it, and that is the elaborate process required in the 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. R. Quain, F.R.C.P., Physician to the Hospital for Consumption, Brompton, remarks: —" It cannot 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 fitting it for vital uses." t£Sir T. Lawrence says:—" I have found Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne an excellent reaiedy in sk;.n diseases. I presume it is by oxydisation." Professor Syme says :—" The effects of the Phos phodyne in obstinate cases of disease are as astonish ing as perplexing." Dr. Hantteld Jones, F.R.C.P., F.R.S., Physician to St. Mary's 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 Hateria Medica during the last century. Pamphlets containing Testimonials may be obtained from all Chemists and Up-Country Storekeepers. es~ Caution.—Be particular to ask for Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne, as Imitations are abroad ; and avpid purchasing Single Bottles, the Genuine Article being sold in cases only.
