vegetable production, brought from the sterile
deluto of Arabia the Stony, by the celebrated
Professor M. Morse, well known as a distinguish-

any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the
listless, ernevated youth, the overworn man of

the weakness of a single organ, will all find11m

themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let
not even these despair. The Elixir deals with dis-

The unparalelleled effects of this great restora-

a new era in the annals of medicine.. Thousands

momentary vivacity to the nervous system, a tran-

flash of relief has been succeded by a depression
and prostration greater than before, and the end
