It will strengthen the weak and inflamed the body of morbid waste material, make the blood pure, and give healthy action to. the stomach, liver and kidneys. Nervousness, sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, liver and kidney troubles quickly vanish when Dr. Phelps' marvelous prescription is used. Mrs.
