THE
TONIC WINE.
WHAT IT IS.
WHAT IT DOES.
N OT only dunngthe period of convalescence
after illness but in a variety of
circumstances imposing heavy strain on the
physical and nervous system, the need of a
Tonic is often felt. There is perhaps no
actual malady, but the whole system is in a
weak and debilitated condition, and the
consciousness of want of strength and energy
is most distressing. A Tonic is evidently
necessary, but the important question arises,
which of the many claimants to public favour
is supported by the mature judgment and
approval of the Medical Profession.
Fortunately this is a point not difficult to
decide.
Medical experience has conclusively
proved that the best, the most reliable and
the most uniformly successful Tonic is
VIBRONA.
VIBRONA is not made the subject of
extravagant advertising, neither does it claim
to be a panacea for all the ills which flesh is
heir to.
VIBRONA has been justly described as
the Supreme Tonic and the best evidence of its
unique properties is to be found in the fact
that the world-wide reputation which
VIBRONA enjoys is mainly due to the
spontaneous personal testimony of those who
having experienced its remarkable energising
powers are glad to recommend it to their
friends.
VIBRONA must not be confounded with
Coca and other medicated wines whose
stimulating properties are almost wholly
dependent on the alcohol they contain. The
tonic action of VIBRONA is, cumulative;
that is to say, it continues to exert its effect
in a gradually increasing degree until the
whole system feels strengthened and
invigorated. The appetite improves, the
digestive functions acquire a healthy activity,
and both mental and physical exertion can be
borne without abnormal fatigue or exhaustion.
L ETTERS are being constantly received
from physicians in all parts of the world
testifying to the splendid results which have
attended the use of VIBRONA in cases of
every-day occurrence in which a thoroughly
trustworthy and efficient Tonic is the one
thing needed. An abstract of these Reports
(omitting the names and addresses of the
writers) will be supplied on request. The
originals are always open to the inspection
of any Member of the Profession.
In depressed conditions of the system,
arising from overwork, worry or sleeplessness;
in convalescence from severe illness such as
INFLUENZA, PNEUMONIA, Or TYPHOID ; in
recovery from surgical operations, or to
conserve the forces during any critical period,
the restorative power of VIBRONA cannot
be over estimated.
In Neuralgia and Insomnia it is no
exaggeration to say that VIBRONA acts like
a charm, obstinate cases which have withstood
every other form of treatment being frequently
completely cured after two or three Liqueur
glasses of VIBRONA have been taken at
suitable intervals.
Persons residing in, or visiting localities
where Malarial Fever exists should make it a
rule to take at least one Liqueur glass of
VIBRONA every day. This will not only
materially increase the power to resist
infection, but, in the event of an attack, will
greatly mitigate its severity and hasten
convalescence.
In all tropical climates, even where
Malaria is absent,VIBRONA is indispensable
to European residents. As a recuperative Tonic
in depressed conditions of the system and as a
restorative after Enteric Fever, Influenza, and
other exhausting diseases, VIBRONA stands
absolutely unrivalled.
A liqueur glass of VIBRONA acts as a
prompt restorative, and its agreeable flavout
is much appreciated by invalids and others to
whom ordinary Tonics are distasteful.
THE IDEAL TONIC WINE is supplied in bottles containing 40 Tonic doses
by all first-class Chemists, Wine Merchants and Stores. Price in Great Britain 3 0.
