UNLIKE THE ORDINARY SO-CALLED ‘PICK-ME-UPS’ KOLA TONIC IS A DELICIOUS DRINK WHICH CAN BE TAKEN AS A LIQUEUR OR MIXED WITH WATER AS A BEVERAGE

KOLA LIQUEUR

Tonic. Stimulating. Non-Alcoholic.

=The Times= says: ‘It is an excellent nerve tonic, and is especially good for keeping the brain clear and active.’

Kola is estimated to be _five times_ as sustaining as Cocoa, and also possesses the stimulating properties of Tea.

This nerve stimulant and food, although little known in Europe, finds a ready sale in tropical countries where its value as a remedy against enervating climatic conditions has been well recognised for the past 25 years.
