QUICK NEW STRENGTH AFTER ILLNESS.
After a severe illness you feel so weak, you often despair of ever get- ting your strength back. Especially after operations, or wasting and other diseases, that affect your digestion, the thought of food is distasteful. Yet you must rebuild your body ---- you must have highly nourishing food.
Doctors everywhere recommend Horlicks as the food that not only can be easily digested, but that stimulates. your faded appetite and pours quick new strength into your exhausted body.
Convalescence is shortened and in an amazingly short time you feel full of vigour and strength. Always keep Horlicks ready at hand.
In these difficult times of anxiety and worry, the task of carrying on and doing work which must be done is a doubly difficult one which must- tend to exhaust one's nervous energy.
Horlicks builds up strength, vitality. and prevents that listlessness and tiredness caused by constant nervous strain. H. M. Hodges, Kayamally Building, Queen's Road, Hong Kong.
