A chemical preparation of Phosphorus, with the Vegetable Alkaloids, Quinia, Cypripeden, Xanthoxylin, &c. Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescribed by Oiias. Leslie Bright, 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 unequalled for its power in replenishing the vitality of the body, by its supplying | all the essential constituents 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 in its action, while retaining ail its extraordinary properties ; and as a specific, surpassing all the known therapuetic agents of the day for the speedy and permanent cure of ; —■ Nervous prostration Bhortne sof breath Liver complaints Trembling of the hands Palpitation of the heart and limbs Dizziness Impaired nutrition Noises in the head and Mental and physical decars pre-sion Loss of energy and ap- Consumption (in its inpetite cipient or first stages Hypochondria only) Female complaints Eruptions of the skin General debility Impairad sight and me--1 ndigestion mory Flatulence Nervous fancies Incapacity for study or Impoverished blood business Nervous debility in all Sick headache its stages Lassitude Premature decline and all morbid conditions of the system arising from 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 flesh generating agent known : therefore, a mar. vellous medicine for renovating impaired and broken-down constitutions. It quickly improves the function of assimilation to such a degree, that where for years an emaciated, anxious, cadaverous. and semi-vital condition has existed, the llesh will rapidly increase in quantity and firmness, and the whole system return to a state of robust health. The Phosphodvne acts electrically upon the organisation ; for instance, it assists nature to generate that human electricity which renews and rebuilds the osseous, muscular, nervous, membranous,‘ and organic systems. U operates on the system without exciting care or thought upon the individual as to the process, ft moves the lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, stomach, and intestines, wi hj a harmony, vigour, yet mildness, unparalleled in medicine. The Phosphodyne gives hack to the human structure, in a suitable form, the phosphoric or animating element <>f life, which has 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 sluggish disposition which many persons experience in all their actions. The beneficial effects of the Phosphodvne are frequently shown from the first day of its administration, by a r markable increase of nervous power with a fooling of vigor and comfort to which the patient has lorn; been unaccustomed. Digestion is improved ; the appetite increases wonderfully ; the bowels become regular ; the eves brighter ; the skin clear and hea'thv ; and the hair acquires strength, showing the importance 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 debilitated organs to return to their sound state and perform their natural functions. Persons suH'ering from Nervous Debility, or any of the hundred symptoms which this distressing disease assumes, may rest assured of an effectual and even speedv cure bv the judicious use of this most invaluable remedy.
