Protected by Royal Letters Patent, dated October Uth, 1869. Under Distinguished Patronage. Dr. BRIGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE, A Chemical Preparation of Phosphorus, with the Vegetable Alkaloids Quini.i, Cypripeden, Xanthoxylin, &c, Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescribed by Charlks Leslie Bright, k M.D., Eesident 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 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 therapeutic! agents of the day for the speedy and permanent cure of nervous prostration, liver complaints, palpitation of the heart, dizziness, noises in the head and ears, loss of energy and appetite, hypochondria, female complaints, general debility, indigestion, flatulence, incapacity for study or business, sick headache, lassitude, shortness of breath, trembling of the hands and limbs, impaired nutrition, mental and physical depression, consumption (in its incipient or first stages only), eruptions of the skin, impaired sight and memory, nervous fancies, impoverished blood, nervous debility in all its stages, premature decline, and all morbid conditions of the system, arising from whatever cause. The action of the Phosphodyne is two-fold—on the one hand increasing the principle which constitutes nervous energy, and on the other, the most powerful blood and flesh generating agent known ; and therefore, a marvellous 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, anxioue, cadaverous, and semi-vital condition has existed, the flesh will rapidly increase in quantity and firmness, and the whole system return to a state of robust health. The Phosphodyne acts electrically upon the organization ; for instance, it assists nature to generate that human electricity which renews and rebuilds the osseous, muscular, nervous, membranous, and organic systems. It operates on the system without exciting care or thought upon the individual as to the process. It moves the lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, stomach, and intestines, with a harmony, vigor, yet mildness, unparalleled in medicine. The Phosphodyne gives back to the human structure, in a suitable form, the phosphoric or animating element of life which has been wasted, and exerts an important influence directly on the spinal marrow and nervous system, of a uutritive, 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 effectsof 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 appetite increases wpndorf ulily: the bowels become regular; the eyes brighter; the skin clear and healthy; and the hair acquires strength, showing the importance of the action 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 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 judiciouß use of this most invaluable remedy. Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne is sold only in cases at £1 Is, containing two bottles, and £2 2s, containing five bottles. . Also in Family Cases, at £5, containing sixteen bottles. To be had of all Chemists and Up-Country Storekeepers throughout the Colonies. Full directions for use, in the English, French, and German languages,accompany each case.

Select Medical Ofinions, Sir Charles Locock, Physician Ac* coucheur to her Majesty the Queen, stated at a meeting of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society that in thirteen cases of debility and nervous prostration, he had effected permanent cures by the use of Dr. B right's Phosphodyne. Sir Wm. Ferguson, Bart., F.K.S., Surgeon to her Majesty the Queen, says:—" I have repeatedly prescribed Dr. Bright's Phosphoand found it an agreeable and beneficial remedy. I have but one objection regarding it, and that is the elaborate process required in the preparation will not allow of the retail price being within tho reach of all classes." Dr. Lancaster, the eminent Coroner, says: —"Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne is calculated to entirely supersede iron, mercury, sarsaparilla, quinine, and codliver oil." Dr. R. Quain.F.R.C.P., Physician to the Hospital for Consumption, Brompton, remarks :—lt cannot be doubted that this Phosphatic preparation will henceforth rank foremost in therapeutics; it generates all the important elements of the human frame, the peculiar character of this substance fitting it for vital uses." Kir T. Lawrence says:—" I have fouud Dr. Bright's _ Phosphodyne an excellent remedy in skin diseases. I presume it is by oxydisatiou." Professor Syme says:— ■" The effects of the Phosphodyne in obstinate cases of disease are as astonishing as perplexing " Dr. Handheld Jones, F.K.C.P., F.R.S., Physician to St. Mary's Hospital, says, in atrophy and general debility Phosphodyne is a most admirable remedy ; it invigorates the nutritive functions, and increases the vital energy—" it not only acts as an absorbent," but retards or repairs the waste of tissue, and restores the nutritive functions to their normal condition. The Lancet considers the Phosphodyne one of the most important contributions made to Materia Medica during the last century.
