The strain of modern life on nerves andbrain, the state of tension in which we livein these days of the telephone, the motor andthe flying-machineseems almost unbear-ahle when compared with the calm and repose of former days.

The real cause of breakdown, of worry, ofjangled nerves, of constitutional ill-heal th,hysteria, despondency, is that our ordinaryfood is not sufficient to restore to the brainand nerves the amount of substance whichmodern life demands for the proper workingof every part of the body.

Visem, the new food, is the culmination ofthe efforts of science to supply organicphosphorus and other important builders ofbody, brain and nerves, in a form that thehuman system can readily assimilate and insufficient quantity to repair the daily wasteconsequent upon our present-day life*

- Visem is a concentrated food in the formof small tablets, which, can be easily takenand enjoyed by all. It is not a medicine.Visera is lecithinorganic phosphorusandglycerophosphate of soda combined withmilk-proteid and lactalbumcnthe essentialelements of milk.

The organic phosphorus or lecithin contained in Visem is derived only from theyolk of egg. This variety of lecithin is probably the most expensive, but as it is unquestionably the best, -it has been adoptedfor Visem. Lecithin is the most powerfulbrain and, nerve food known to science, andthe lecithinorganic phosphoruswhich isused for Visem is of a strength hitherto unobtainable., . Visemiis' not only needed by those who areillwhose nerve JiOAypr has been debil itated,but the healthy/a(t8;%T,re always in need ofthis nev/ food,' TljiGJ* viiill sustain and increase their mental and physical activities.

Visem' can be obtained at all high-classchemists. 24 Dainty Tablets in a neatenamelled box, cost Is. 6d. If any difficultyin obtaining communicate with the makers,Messrs. St. Ivel, Limited, Yeovil, who willat once arrange for your supply.
