A chemical preparation of Phosphorus, with the Vegetable MkaloMs, Qaiuia, Cypripeden, Xanthoxylin, &c. Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescribed by Oh as. Leslie Bright, M. 1)., Resident Surgeon to St. Mary’s Hospital, Loudon. 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 all 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 Shortness of breath Liver complaints Trembling of the hands Palpitation of the heart and limbs Dizziness Impaired nutrition Noises in the head and Mental and physical deears 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 meIndigestion 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 i from whatever cause. The action of the Phos- ( phodyne is twofold—on the one hand increasing the principle which constitutes nervous energy, 1 and on the other the most powerful blood and I flesh generating agent known ; therefore, a mar- j vellous medicine for renovating impaired and broken-down constitutions. It quickly improves ; the function of assimilation to such a degree, j that where for years an emaciated, anxious, ca- ; daverous, and semi-vital condition has existed, . the flesh will rapidly increase in quantity and j firmness, and the whole system return to a state j of robust health. The Phosphodync acts electrically upon the j organisation ; for instance, it assists nature to , generate that human electricity which renews and rebuilds the osseous, muscular, nervous, , membranous, and organic systems. It operates I on the system without exciting cire or thought upon the individual as to the process. It moves i the lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, stomach, and | intestines, with a harmony, vigour, yet mildness, i unparalleled in medicine. The Phosphodync gives back to the human structure, in a suitable form, the phosphoric or I animating element of life, which has been wasted, I and exerts an important influence directly on tlie I spinal marrow and nervous system, of a nutritive, i 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. ! 'l’he beneficial effects of the Phosphodyne are ! frequently shown from the first day of its administration, by a remarkable increase of nervous power with a feeling of vigor and comfort to which the patient has long been unaccustomed. Digestion is improved ; the anpetito increases wonderfully ; the bowels become regular ; the eyes brighter ; the skin clear and healthy ; and the hair acquires strength, showing the importance of the Phosphodync on the organs of nutrition. Finally, the Phosphodync 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 suffering from Nervous Debility, or any of the hundred symptoms which this distressing disease assumes, may rest assured of an effectual and even speedy cure by the judicious use of this most invaluable remedy.

SELECT MEDICAL OPINIONS; Sir Charles I.ocock, Physician Accoucheur to her Majestv the Queen, stated at a meeting of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society that in thirteen eases of debility and nervous prostration he had effected permanent cures by the use of Dr Bright’s Phosphodync. Sir Win. Ferguson, Bart., F. R.S.. surgeon to her Majesty the Queen, says:—‘‘l have repeatedly prescribed Dr Bright's Phosphodyne and found it an agreeable and beneficial remedy. I have but one objection regarding it. and that is, I the elaborate process required in the preparation j will not allow of the retail price being within the 1 reach of all classes.” Dr Lancaster, the eminent coroner, says: | “Dr Bright's Phosphodyne is calculated to entirely supersede iron, mercury, sarsaparilla, quinine, and cod-liver oil. Dr R. Quain, F. R.C. P.. physician to Ihc llosi pital for Consumption, P>rompton, remarks : | “It cannot be doubted that Ibis Phosphatic j preparation will henceforth rank foremost in | therapeutics ; it generates all the important elcI meats of the human frame, the peculiar character of this substance fitting it for vital uses.” Sir T.
