L 47 11-17 For Overwrought Nerves The important duties and responsibilities which fall on the shoulders of the nurse, often cause a case of "nerves," hampering her work and hindering her efficiency. Overwrought nerves usually accompany a lowered vitality, and need a renewed supply of the vital phosphatic elements to restore their tone and balance. For this purpose, Horsford's Acid Phosphate, a solution of the acid phosphates of calcium, sodium, potassium and iron is a prompt and helpful agent, as it contains the phosphates in a form readily assimilated and agreeable to take. It revives the nerve and brain cells, and assists the restoration of normal conditions in a natural and efficacious manner. Horsford's Acid Phosphate RUMFORD CHEMICAL WORKS PROVIDENCE, R. I.
