BRAIN-FAG is an expression used to convey the idea of that condition of the brain where it is tired, worn-out or broken down from various causes, such as worry, anxiety, over-work and excesses of various kinds. In cases of this kind, so common in this enervating climate, the first impulse is to resort to stimulants, which may give temporary, relief, but wherever there is stimulation there is bound to be a reaction, which leaves the sufferors in a far worse condition than they were before. To this fact, may be ascribed more than one half of the break downs which are so frequently brought to our notice in the Er- East. A cup of
BOVRIL
bridges over the difficulty, and stimulatos, strengthens, and sustains without any deleterious after effects. BOVRIL IS
Prescribed by Medical Men throughout the World.
Used by all the Principal Hospitals.
Supplied to British and Foreign Governments, and
Sold by over 150,000 Customers throughout the United Kingdom alone.
