 and diarrhoea, dysentery, nervousness, bilious- 

 ness and liver complaints, flatulency, disten- 

 gion, acidity, heartburn, palpitation of the 

 heart, nervous headiichef, deafness, noises in 

 the head and ears, pains in almost every nart 

 of the body, tic douloureux, faceache. chronic

 the skin, boils and carbuncles, impurities and 

 poverty of the blood, scrofula, cnugh, asthma, 

 consumption, dropsy, rheumatism, trout, 

 nausea and sickness during pregnancy, after 

 eating, or at sea, low spirits, spnsms, cramps, 

 epileptic fits, spleen, general debility, inquie- 

 tude, sleeplessness, involuntary blushing, pa- 

 ralysis, tremors, dislike to society, unfitness lor 

 rtndy, loss of memory, delusions, vertigo, blood 

 to the head, exhaustion, melancholy, ground- 

 lees fear, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of 

 self-destruction, and many other complaints. 

 It is, moreover, the best food for inftnts and 

 invalids generally, as it never turns acid on 

 the weakest stomach, nor interferes with a 

 good liberal diet, hut imparts a healthy relish 

 for 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 Caotion against the fearful 

 dangers of spuri' us imitations : — The Vice- 

 Chancellor Sir William Page Wood granted 

 an Injunction on March 10, 1854. against 

 Alfred Hooper Nevill. for imitating "Du 

 Barry's Kevalenta Arabica Food."

 Gateacre, near Liverpool : a cure of ten years

 taoility."

 useful in confined habit of body, as also in 

 diarrhoea, bowel complaints, affections of the 

 kidneys and bladder, such as stone or gravel ; 

 inflammatory irritation and cramp of the

 ally the troublesome cough ; and I am enabled
