What It Is and How It Increases Weight, Strength and Nerve Force
in Two Weeks' Time in Many Instances
SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED BY EVERY DOCTOR
AND USED IN EVERY HOSPITAL
Says Editor of "Physicians' Who's Who."
Take plain bltro - phosphate is the
advice of physicians to thin, 'delicate,
nervous people who lack vim, energy
and nerve force, and there seems to be
ample proof of the efficacy of this
preparation to warrant the recommen
dation. Moreover, if we Judge from the
countless preparations and treatments
which are continually being advertised
for the purpose of making thin people
fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust,
and replacing ugly hollows and angles
by the soft curved lines of health and
beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than is contained in
modern foods. Physicians claim there
Is nothing that will supply this de
ficiency so well as the organic phos
phate known among druggists as bltro
phospbate, which is inexpensive and is
sold by most all druggists under a
guarantee or satisiaction or money
hack. By feeding the nerves directly
o4 by smpplylnjl the dy osUs) wltb
the necessary phosphorio food ele
ments, bltro - phosphate quickly pro
duces a welcome transformation in the
appearance; the increase in weight fre
quently being astonishing.
Clinical tests made in St. Catherine's
Hospital, N. Y. C, showed that two
patients gained in weight 23 and 27
pounds, respectively, through the ad
ministration of this organic phosphate;
both patients claim they have not felt
as strong and well for the past twelve
years.
This Increase In weight also carries
with tt a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of
perfect health.
Physicians and hospitals everywhere
are now recognizing its merits by its
use in ever - Increasing quantities.
Frederick Kolle, M. D., editor of New
Tork "Physicians' Who's Who," says:
"Bltro-Phaspha te shoals; be prescribed
by every doctor and used In every hos
pital to Increase strength and nerve
force and to enrich the blood."
Jos. D. Harrigan, Former Visiting
Specialist to North Eastern Dispensa
tory, says: "Let those who are weak,
thin, nervous, anaemic or run - down,
take a natural, unadulterated substance
such as bitro-phosphate and you will
soon eee some astonishing results in
the Increase of nerve energy, strength
of body and mind and power of endur
ance." BItro-Phosphate is made entirely of
the organic phosphate compound re
ferred to in the National Standard Dis
pensatory as being an excellent tonic
and nervine and a preparation which
has recently acquired considerable rep
utation in the treatment of neuras
thenia. The standard of excellence,
strength and purity of Its substance is
beyond question, for every Bitro-Phoa-phate
tablet Is manufactured in etrlot
accordance with the U. S. Pharma
copoeia test requirements. Bitro-Phos-phate
is therefore not a patent medi
cine and should not be confused with
any of the secret nostrums, so-called
tonics or widely advertised "cure-alls."
CAUTION Although Bltro-Phosphste Is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleep
