Br JOHN K. BRACHVOGEL, M.E. 



THE value and significance of a tax-free alcohol have been so widely dis- 

 cussed in the press and periodical literature of the entire country, that it 

 is unnecessary to emphasize the great importance of the subject, especially 

 to our agricuittiral and industrial interests. For years we have been far behind 

 the nations of Europe in this regard, and in conseq^ience our literature has been sadly lacking in authorita- 

 tive works covering this phase of industrial activity. This book was designed with the especial purpose of 

 filling this want, and it is the latest and most comprehensive work of its kind which has been published in 

 this country. 



Few in number are those to whom this book would not prove of interest and vahie. The farmer, the 

 manufacturer, the power -producer, the householder, will all find that denatured alcohol is of such impor- 

 tance to them, that its use and introduction will effect savings and economies which were hitherto impossi- 

 ble of accomplishment.

f Nervousness 



Nervousness knocks at the door of 

 every man and woman under tlie pres- 

 ent day strain. Its health shattering 

 force is plainly evident in every direction 

 you may look. In this ambitious age no- 

 body seems able to resist the temptation 

 of overdoing until exhausted nature rebels 

 and is avenged by the nervous prostration 

 that follows. At this serious stage when 

 you are liable to become the victim of fever 

 or other prevalent disease when not only the 

 nerve forces must be restored but also the 

 impaired system strengthened and rebuilt, 

 you will find 



Babst Extiaa 



-(Ke^esT Tonic 



because it combines the quieting and tonic 

 effects of the choicest hops with the nutritive 

 and digestive elements of rich barley malt. 

 Hops contain those tonic properties which 

 both soothe and build up the nervous system. 

 They induce sweet, refreshing sleep, while 

 the nourishment offered by the pure extract 

 of barley malt, being in predigested form, is 

 easily assimilated by the blood and carries in 

 it those elements that quickly rebuild the del- 

 icate nervous substances and tissues. At the 

 same time an appetite is created and your 

 system is furnished the power to draw quicker 

 and greater energy from what you eat.

builds up and strengthens. This liquid food 

 in predigested form is welcomed by the 

 weakest stomach. It revitalizes the nerves 

 and restores energy, while the phosphates 

 furnished from nature's own warehouse 

 rebuild and revive the tired brain.
