 and diarrhoea, dysentery, nervousness, bilious- 

 ness and liver cumnlaints, flatulency, disten- 

 elon, acidity, heartburn, palpitaiion of the 

 heart, nervous headache?, deafness, noises m

 epileptic fits, spleen, general debility, inquie- 

 tude, sleeplessness, involuntary blushing, pa- 

 ralysis, tremors, dislike to soi iety , imfitncss for 

 »tudy, loss of memory, delusions, vertigo, blood 

 to the head, exhaustion, melancholy, ground- 

 less fear, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of 

 •elf-destruetion. and many other complaints. 

 It is, moreover, the best food for inf. nts and 

 invalids generally, as it never turns acid on 

 the weakest stomach, nor interferes with a 



f;ood liberal diet, but imparts a healthy relish 

 or lunch and dinner, and restores the faculty 

 of digestion, and nervous and muscular energy 

 to the most enfeebled. In whooping cough, 

 measles, small-pox, and chicken or wind pox, 

 it renders all medicine superfluous by re- 

 moving all inflammatory and feverish symp- 

 toms. 



Important Cadtion against the fearful 

 dangers of .spuri' us imitations : — The Vice- 

 Chancellor Sir William Page Wood granted 

 an Injunction im Marph 10, ls.'J4, against 

 Alfred Hooper Nevill. for imitating " Du 

 Barry's H^valenta Arabica Food."

Cure No. .52 422 : — " I have suffered these 

 thirty-three years continually from diseased 

 lungs, spiitivg of blood, liver derangement, 

 deafness, singling in the ears, constipation, 

 debility, shortness of breath and cough ; and 

 during that neriod taken so much medicine, 

 that I can safely say I have laid out upwards 

 of a thousand potmds with the chemists and 

 doctors. I have actually worn out two iriedical 

 men during my ailments, without finding any 

 improvement in my health. Indeed I was in 

 Btter despair, and never expected to get over 

 it, when I was fortunate enough to become 

 acquainted with your lievaltnta AraUca ; 

 which. Heaven be praised, restored me to a 

 state of health which I long since despaired of 

 attaining. My lungs, liver, stomach, head, 

 and ears, are all right, my hearing perfect, and 

 my recovery is a marvel to all my acquaint- 

 ances. I am, respectfully,
