For the Liver.—It is of the greatest importance that the blood should be kept, as far as possible, in a state of purity. The con- ditions of life under which most people exist are very much opposed to a healthy action of the liver. If those who suffer from a neneless want of energy and unhealthy, bilious-looking, sallow skin WJuld drink the Dandelion Coffee in the place of ordinary coffee, tea, or cocoa, a marked improvement in these and many other particulars would soon follow. 'n, M. SCHWEITZER'S DANDELION V t COFFEE. For the Digestion.—No one suffers wore than the Dyspeptic, and at the same time there are few men, especia.1ly those employed in commercial and sedenta y pursuits who are not subject to indigestion, either in intermit- tent-or chronic forms. Moderation, exercise, and Scnweitzer's Dandelion Coffee at meals will cure most cases, and alleviate the woist and most confirmed. WM. SCHWEITZER'S DANDELION v V COFFEE for Hysteria. The sedative proper- ties of this valuable article of diet are ex- ceedingly marked and lasting. Nothing has a woise effect upon the mind and health than worry," or, in other words, tha.n morbidity— nervousness—depression, either on acccount of business, domestic, or other cares. In these cases it is the sheerest folly to drink tea and the ordmary coffee, and no better advice call be given than a little relaxation and amuse- meut, with Schweitzer's Dandelion Coffee at breakfast, tea, and, if desired, before soins to bed. OJ WM- SCHWEITZER'S DANDELION Vt COFFEE for the breakfast and tea table. It is needless to say that the habitual use of ordinary coffee exercises a most injurious in- fluence upon the digestion and nervous sys- tem. A very few weeks' trial ot this appetis- ing and refreshing beverage is always re- warded with increased digestive power, a new tone and vigour imparted to the blood, and a restful calm, and freedom from worry, which all acquainted with a weak digestion, and a sluggish liver will know Low to appreciate. M. SCHWEITZER'S DANDELION w COFFEE.—The properties of the Dandelion (Taraxacum) Root are too well known to need comment. For its mild but effectual and last- ing action upon the Liver and Digestive Organs it has always been relied upon in cases of Indi- gestion and Liver Complaints. WM. SCHWEITZER'S DANDELION COFFEE.—The following testimonial is iroin Mr S. B. Colston, M.R.C.S., Medical Officer for the parish of ilrixham.—"It eives me great pleasure to recommend your Wm. Schweitzer's Dandelion or Taraxacum Coffee, and I can tes- tify a to its beneficial results in cases of Liver and Stvmach Affections. It appears to be a preparation eminently suited to these cases." WM. SCHWEITZER'S DANDELION TV COFFEE.—Mrs L. Wright, 5, Ingiewood Grove, Manchester, writes:—"Wm.
