I me present ua)i luimviiv iuh sklered hopeless, is now conceded by the best physicians as curable under proper conditions. Its cause a depleted condition of the system ; a mal-asstmilalion of food ; a va:-tiii away of the tissues ; an impoverishment of the blood. The result a diseased condition of all the organs of the body ; a formation of eating ulcers ; and the result death from collapse or hemorrhage. But the cure is Bovinine that greatest concentration into the lesst possible bulk of the vital elements of lean, raw beef. It is absorbed and nourishes with the least possible effort on the part of the stomach. It creates new tissue, enriches the blood, makes flesh, and by strengthening the great vital centres of the body enables them to perform their functions in a natural man ner, and dispel disease.
