orsford’s Acid Phosphate. 
Overworked men and women, the 
nervous, weak and debilitated, will find 
in the Acid Phosphate a most agree- 
able, grateful and harmless stimulant, 
giving renewed strength and vigor to 
the entire system.

‘‘T have used it in my own case when suffering 
from nervous exhaustion, with gratifying re- 
sults. I have prescribed it for many of the 
various forms of nervous debility, and it has 
neyer failed to do good.”
