ABE YOU
Weak, Nervous or Debilitated. ?
Are yon so languid that any exertion
requires more of an effort than you feel
capable of making? Then try Juru-
beba, the wonderlul tonic and lnvigora
tor, which acts so beneficially on tho
secretive organs as to impart vigor to
all the vital forces.
It is no alcoholic appetizer, which
stimulates for a short time, only to let
the sufferer fall to a lower depth of mis
ery, but it is a vegetable tonic acting
directly on the liver and spleen.
It regulates the bowels, quiets the
nerves, and gives such a healthy tone to
the whole system as to soou make the
invalid feel like a new person.
Its operation is not violent, but is
characterized by groat gentleness; the
patient experiences no sudden change,
no marked resists, but gradually his
troubles
"Fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And silently steal away."
This is no new and untried discovery,
but has been long used with wonderful
remedial results, and is pronounced by
the highest medical authorities, "the
most powerful tonic and alterative
known."
Ask your druggist for it.
