Medical. PROTECTED BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT, DATED OCTOBER 11, 1869. UITDEB DISTINGUISHED PATEONAGE. DR BRIGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE. A Chemical Preparation of Phosphorus, with the Vegetable Alkaloids, Quinia. Cypripeden, Xanthoxylin, &c, Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescribed by Chables Leslie Bright, M.D., Resident Surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital, London. This Phoephatic combination iB 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 ot the blood and nerve substance, and for developing all' the pow'ers.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 e gents of the day for the speedy and permanent cure of — Nervous prostration ' Liver complaints Palpitation of the heart Dizziness Noises in the head and oars Loss of energy and appetite Hypochandria 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 onlv) 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 systpin 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 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, anxious, 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 organisation ; for instance, it assists nature to generate that human elictricity 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, ■wHioii H&s 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, entiroly overcoming that dull, inactive, and sluggish disposition which many persons experience in all tbeir actions. The beneficial effects of the Phosphodyne are frequentlv shown from the first day of its administration, by a remarkable increase of nervous power with a feeling of vigor and comlort to which the patient has long been unaccustomed. Digestion is improved : the appetite increases wonderfully ; the bowels become regular ; the eyes brighter j the skin clear and healthy j and the hair acquires strength, showing the importance of the action of the Phosphod yne 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 speed} cure by the judicious use of this most invaluable remedy.

Sib Ch 4s. Locock, Physical Accoucheur 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 Bright's Phosphodyne". Sib Wm. Ferguson, Bart., F.R.S., Surgeon to Her Majesty the Queen, says : — "I 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 the elaborate process required in the preparation will not allow of the retail price being within the reach of all classes." Db Lancasteb, the Eminent Coroner, says : — "Dr Bright's Phosphodyne is calculated to entirely supersede iron, mercury, sarsaparilla, quinine, and cod-liver oil." Db R. Quain, F.R.C.P., Physician to the Hospital for Consumption, Brompton, remarks: — '• It 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." Sib T. Lawbence says : — " I have found Dr Bright's Phosphodyne an excellent remedy in skin diseases. I presume it is by oxydisation." Pbofessob Syme says : — " The effects of the Phosphodyne in obstinate cases of disease are as astonishing as perplexing." Db Handfield Jones, F.R.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.
