Gentlemen,— Having proved the efficacy of your preparation, Mighty " Alok," aa an invaluable Brain and Nerve Tonic, I havo much pleasure in stating the circumstanoes turner which I came to use it. On August 17th I noticed an announcement in tbe " Herald,? of an examination in law for tbe office of Police Magistrate, to be held in twfc mouths' time. The subjects prescribe^ were books oontaining nearly 10,000 pages. I had undertaken a " big job," with less than nine weeks to do it in. After three weeks I found I could not continue the intense marital strain -without having recourse to some artificial stimulapt. De«lining to use alcohol for this purpose, I decided to give Mighty " ALOK " a trial. Tbe result of the ttrstbtfttle was so remarkable that I purchased a dozen, and by the use of thie invaluable brain and nerve tonic wps able to continue my studies without any break for nearly three weeks, at a mental strain sustained at the highest pressilre for 134 hours a day,- with the result that at the examination I successfully passed in all subjects except ona, and in that I was only 3j marks below the minimum, and for which I have been granted,a future examination. I feel confident that lad I not '..:..' _. used your Mighty "ALOK " I should have broken down. ~...5 y_t_ _ y_y'_.._.. Aiiwiiitii Yours faithfully, . "; ; . ....■.■■, ~'_."".- : H.

' Actual Facts. ■■■'■'■.■■ A leading Sydney lawyer called on ns and stated that after a very merry night he felt so bad and sick the next morning it was necessary to see his doctor. The doctor, advised him to go straight to Fisher & Co.'s and get a draugbt of their Mighty " ALOK In half an hour he was brighfcand fresh enough to condoet an important law case, which meant J250 to him. He was quite positive it would not have been done without the Tonic. The gentleman naturally will aot have bis name mentioned in tbe papers, but it can be made known privately.

IT CUBES INDIGESTION AND MAKES YOU E&T. •; A SPLENDID PREPARATION FOR STRENGTHENING THE ItfEftVES -AND SUAE?. « * ACTION OF, THE HE ART.—Professor Heckel states that Cola, by Sic Caffeine and Theobromine' wMcb it.(?ontai__t& Is a tonic of the heart, whose pulsations it sfcoelerates, while it increases lis jk>war and regulate its oehtrsicfioas. Proffeswr Heckel further points out that the principle, called Kolaine, contained in Kola, prevents rapid waste, of, tisane dicing fatiguing exertions, whilst the Caffeine stimulates the ma«cles.PNEUMONIA.—Worry kills business area. Heavr-io&Ks and hard tsnes mike then* dep^es^edjin spirits. Th? Main and body become weak: unknown to them they are debilitated. It is than-that tbe least ,ch£lL Strikes them, and pneumonia • carries them off. To fortify the system, and make the ap'irfts buoyant, nothing can equal Kdier: and 'Company's Mighty "ALOK." It is the most remarkable invigorator and irajrtaiaer known. DIARRHCSA.—Dr. Durain and Dr. Cnnio bate both reported cutps in rebel&KM diarrheas under the übb of Kola. A rwent issue of the " Planter's Monthly." contains a description of this remarkable nut and its uses:—Kola has the property of staying hunger, whilst supporting the struggle fo* existeoce. If a supply of nuts-had been included in Mr. Stanley's outfit, his men would not have suffered so t^mb^y for want of animal food. As might be expected, the value of Kola increases as it maked its v^py into the interior of Africa, and some of the tribes,furthest removed icon) the sea pay for the dry powder an equal weight of golddnot. Ina despatch from Mr, Gaorge Alexander Steyens, her Majesty's Control'at Bahia, he calls attention to the great powers of enSftranca in lifting hejavy loads and transporting them to long. distances in the tropical climate, attributed to the free use of Kola Bean. An old African, after biting A £ieee of the magio ; bean, lifted 179 English pounds weight on his bead, and carried tbe same for a distance -of four miles. " Still another merit is named, however, which will, interest the temesrance party. The n%roes who chew Kola Nut have no desire to drink rum, and hence save money and retain strength. Dr. LEON ERNST MONNET; Paris, reports: — •■' I gave a strpng infusion df Kola Nut to a railroad track layer, whtf was suffering from ' bine devila' (hypochondria) extremely, and within terohaurs he fait like going its bis hard duties, and laughed and talked." ■>ii n ■ i CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF KOLA NUT.

The Purify of our Tonic is the reason why thousands and tens of thousands all over Australia drink oar preparation, the benefits arising froni so deiag being incalculable, as proved by our numerous splendid fceatirhbnials. We further warn the public against tbe aspersions made by unprincipled men, who, with old-fashioned tonics, find themselves crowded Out of the market. MIGHTY " ALOE " is the most modern, scientific, and successful fconio ever placed before the public, and will outlive all jawlons opposition. KOLA is a remarkable power prescribed by medical men throughout tbe whole civilised world. Tea, coffee, and many: other drinks induce biliousness. not so with MIGHTY "ALOK." which, with sodawater, in the morning, is a most refreshing and healthful drink. Stimulating tbe Stomach and Clearing the Brain. In face of all this learned testimony, the man who says that Kola is a dangerous and useless drug evidently does not: know what be U talking about, and is quite ignorant on the whole subject. He must have some sordid end to sain, sad casts all Commercial Honour and Principle to tbe wind. ■■'■■'' _ BE SURE THAT YOU FIND THE FULL NAME— FISHER AND CO., NOT FISHER'S, OB ANY OTHER COLOURABLE IMITATION, BUT FISHER ahd CO., ON EVER?
