Extract of Jamaica
| Ginger.
SUCH is the intimate connection between the
stomach and the nervous system, that the
j health of one depends very much upon the state
! of the oihcr, and a medicine which is grateful and
I beneficial to the stomach, has the effect of restor-
i iug Ihe nervous system to its natural lone and vig-
! or: and owing to these circumstances the Extract
I of Ginger will be found an excellent remedy for
j nervous and sick headache, for sea sickness, nau-
| sea. etc., etc. The great advantage of thc fluid
! extract, or essence of Jamaica Ginger, is, that in a
] very concentrated form, it contains all the active
■ pi inciples without any of the inert matter, which
j makes it much more agreeable to tlie stomach.
All i Dyspeptic persons «ho are troubled with nau-
sea, or distress of the stomach, after eating, ow-
j iug to the weakness of the digestive organs, will
