Dear Sirs,— As a cure for brain weariness and lassitude, I have proved Mighty " ALOK " a marvellous Tonio A dose before commencing enables me to endure the arduous strain of match play with little fatigue. I consider it a boon to brain workers, and heartily recommend it to all chess players. J. L. JAOOBSEN. REMARKABLE MENTAL EFFORT SUSTAINED BY MIGHTY "ALOK." Messrs. FISHER & CO. Gentlemen,- Having proved the efficacy of your preparation, Mighty " Alok," as an invaluable Brain and Nerve Tonio, 1 Have much pleasure in stating the circumatances under which Icame to use it. On August 17th I noticed an announcement in the Herald of an examination in law for the office of Police Magistrate, to be held in two months' time. The subjects i prescribed were books containing 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 mental strain without having recourse to some artificial stimulant. Declining to uae alcohol for this purpose, I decided to give Mighty " ALOK " a trial. The result of the first bottle was so remarkable that I purchased a dozen, and by the uee of this invaluable braiu and nerve tonic was able to continue my .studies without any break for nearly three weeks, att a mental strain sustained at the highest pressure for 13* hours a day, with the result that at the examination I successfully 'passed in all' subjects except one, and in that I was only 333 3 marks below the ruimmum, and for which I have been grunted a future examination. I feel confident that had I not used your Mighty " ALOK " I should have broken down. Yours faithfully, . , , ; ■ H. TENNANT DONALDSON, J.P., 24th February, 1898. Late Private Secretary to the Hon. Sir George Dibbs, K.Q.M.G. WHAT HENRY BRAOY, ESQ., SAYS ABOUT FISHER & COS MIGHTY "ALOK," Heney Beaoy's English and Comic Opbba Company, Sydney. Messrs. FISHER .& CO. Lyceum Theatre, Sydney, March Gth, 1897. Gentlemen,— lt is with much pleasure that I testify to the merits of your Mighty "ALOK." In my professional vocation I am very often tired and fatigued after long and worrying rehearsals, and I find great benefit at the time from a dose of your tonio, with a little soda water. It invariably has a most, reviving effect, and I have got quite fond of it.— Faithfully yours, • H. BRACY. AN ENGLISH ATHLETE'S TESTIMONY Messrs. FISHER & CO. . Thickthorn, Moore Park, January 7th, 1893. Gentlemen -It is only common gratitude on my part to let you know the great benefit I have derived from your KOLA NUT preparations. As an old and suceesaf ul athlete in the country, I have naturally tried many strength conferring beverages, but consider your latest production, Mighty " ALOK," to be peerless.— Faithfully yours, CHARLES S. DAVIS. WHEN OUT OF SORTS DRINK MIGHTY "ALOK." Actual Facts. A leading Sydney. lawyer called on us and stated that after a very merry night he fell; so bad and sick the next morning it was necessary to see his doctor. The doctor advised him to go straight to Fisher & Co. 'a and get a draught of their Mighty " ALOK." In half an hour he was bright and fresh enough to conduct an important law case, which meant £250 to him. He was quite positive it would not have been done without the Tonic. The gentleman naturally will not have his name mentioned in the papers, but it can be made known privately. This gentleman is most enthusiastic in his praise of Mighty " ALOK," and will now have no other medicine. WHEN RUN DOWN TAKE MIGHTY "ALOK." ERNEST GYE, Esq., Madame Albani's husband, thus writes nearly a month subsequent to Madame Albania.l etter ;/— "The Australia, 1 ' Sydney, 17th April, 1898. Measra. FISHER & CO., 337 George-Street. , Dear Sirs,— Would you please write your Melbourne House to send 6 bottles of your Mighty "ALOK " on board the s.s. Narrung (Lund Line), for the use of Madame Albani. The ship left here yesterday, and will leave Melbourne on the 22ud.— Yours truly, , ERNEST GYE. * '

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONY. MADAME ALBANI, THE QUEEN OF SONG, AND THE FRIEND OF HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF GREAT BRITAIN, WEITES UNSOLICITED THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONY .— " The Australia " (Hotel), Sydney, March 29th, 1898. Dear Sirs, — I shall be much obliged if you will send me two bottles of your preparation " ALOK." lam very glad to tell you that this Tonio was of great service to me on the sea, and in helping me to recover from the effects of my long voyage. IT IS OF GREAT BENEFIT IN STOPPING SEA SICKNESS, AND OF GREAT ASSISTANCE TO ANY ONE WHO HAS FATIGUING WORK TO DO. I am, yours very truly, E. ALBANI GYB. There is no greater believer in Mighty " ALOK " than Madame Albani. It is her constant companion.

IT CUBES INDIGESTION AND MAKES YOU EAT. A SPLENDID PREPARATION FOR STRENGTHENING THE NERVES AND HEART. m ACT.ION OF THE HEART.— Professor Heckel states that Cola, by the Caffeine and Theobromine which it contains, is a tonio of the heart, whose pulsations it accelerates, while ifc increases its power arid regulates its contractions.-/ .Professor v Heokel further points out that the principle, called Kolaine, contained in Kola, prevents rapid waste of tissue dur^ug fatiguing exertions, whilst the Caffeine stimulates the muscles. • ■' ' \,; 1 - J - /o ..!'/" PNEUMONIA. — Worry kills business men. Heavy losses and harl times make them depressed in spirits. ■ The brain and body become weak ; unknown to them they are debilitated. It is tlien that the least chill strikes them, and pneumonia carries them off. To fortify the system, and make the spirits buoyant, nothing can equal Fisher -and-Company'sJilighty "ALOK." It is the most remarkable in vigorator and sustainer kuowu. , - . ~ DIARRHCEA.— Dr. Durain aud Dr. Cunio have both reported cures in rebellious diarrhoea under the use of Kola. A recent 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 for existence. If a supply of nuts had been included in Mr. Stanley's outfit, his men would not have suffered so terribly for want of animal food. As might be expected, the value of Kola increases as it makes its way into the interior of Africa, and some of the tribes furthest removed from the sea pay for the dry powder an equal weight of gold dust. In a despatch from Mr. George Alexander Stevens, her Majesty's Consul at Bahia, he calls attention to the great powers of endurance in lifting heavy loads and transporting themio lonjy distances in the tropical climate, attributed to the free use of Kola Bean. An old African, after biting a piece of thljnagiu bean, lifted 179 English pounds weight on his head, and carried the same for a distance of four miles. " Still another merit is named, however, which will interest the temperance party. The negroes who chew Kola Nut have no desire to drink rum, and heupe save money and retain strength." Dr. LEON ERNST MONNET, Paris, reports :— " I gave a strong infusion of Kola Nut to a railroad track layer, who was suffering from • blue devila ' (hypochondria) extremely, and within two hours he felt like going to his hard duties, and laughed and talked."CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF KOLA NUT. From a paper read before the Union Scientifique dcs Pharmaciens de France by Professor E. Heckel and F. Sehlagdenhauffen ("Jour. Pharm. et de Chimie" (5), p. 553, viii., p. 81, 177), " Pharmaceutical Journal and Transactions, " Jan. 26, 1884; "Therapeutic Gazette," June, 1884, p. 275. The entire composition of the Kola Nut is compared by the authors with that of tea, coffee, and cacao, as follows : — Cacao Coffee Tea Kole (Mitscherlich). (Payen). Green Blaok (Peligot).

The Purity of our Tonic fe the reason why thousands and tens of thousands all over Australia drink our preparation, the benefits arising from so doing being incalculable, as proved by our numerous splendid testimonials. We further warn the public against the aspersions made by unprincipled men, who, with old-fashioned tonics, find themselves crowded out of the market. MIGHTY " ALOK " is the most modern, scientific, and successful tonio ever placed before the public, and will outlive all jealous opposition. KOLA is a remarkable power prescribed by medioal men throughout the whole oivilised 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 the Sfomach 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 he is talking about, and is quite ignorant on the whole subject. He must have some sordid end to gain and casts all Commercial Honour and Principle to the wind. • - t ' BE SURE THAT YOU FIND THE FULL NAMEFISHER AND CO., NOT FISHER'S, OR ANY OTHER COLOURABLE IMITATION, BUT FISHER akd CO., ON EVERY BOTTLE.
