if you are allergic to eggs and milk you must hunt for adequate
food substitutes. Your diet requires them.
Food Allergies Cause Blemishes
a
If you happen to be one of the thousands of women who are sensi- tive to one food or another you are quite likely to have a beauty problem - on your hands. If you eat of the offending food your face may break out in blemishes, or your skin into a rash, even as late as two days after you have eaten itl If you have strong sensitivity to some foods (or smells) your body may react so-vio- lently that it becomes bloated, your features distorted, your digestive track becomes upset and almost any symp- toms of disease might show itself. For doctors claim that food allergies: have been known to masquerade as many other diseases, but once your is changed scientifically, the .. diet
symptoms disappear!
If you are one on these unfortunates (and seven per cent. of the population are allergie!) you should hunt for substitute foods for those which cause you such discomfort and destroy your poise and beauty. There is a new book which will help you greatly with your problem if you cannot afford the expert services of a physician who understands allergy. ·
This book "You Can't Eat That" by : Helen Morgan has a fore- .word endorsement by Dr. Walter C. Alvarez of the Mayo Clinic,
(who has done a great deal of
research on allergies) and several
|
other prominent diet authorities have contributed to the needed tome.
"Allergy," what it is, what causes it and how it is diagnosed, and treat- ed, is clearly and simply explained so that any victim may become general- ly familiar with the subject.
The second part of the book is de- voted to tasty recipes, the ingredients of which are substitutes for foods which are common offenders such as milk, chocolate, egg, coffee and wheat. Of course there are many other un- common food allergies which are considered.
You may be able to detect your own pet allergy without the long or- deal of "skin tests" which frequently do
not report a positive reaction. Miss Morgan and Doctor Alvarez tell you how to go about it, what to eat and what not to eat and just which substitutes are for you once you make your discovery. Part three of the book is "Food Information for Allergies" and is devoted to telling you what is in canned and prepared foods in case the producer has not told you just clearly on the wrapping of the pro- duct.

NOT TO BE SLIGHTED
"In a few cases," Morgan, "the food that proves so up-

setting is something that's rarely eaten, such as lobster or litchi nuts, and then a person is apt to diagnose his own trouble and thereafter avoid the offender. But in the majority of cases the trouble is due to something people eat all the time, and then not one in a million realises what's wrong!
CHILDREN WHO WON'T EAT

Usually such a child months old. If the eczema is uncheck- is the "nervy" highly-strunged, the child will be thoroughly irrit- type. He picks at his food, looks pale and loses weight.
Coaxing won't improve matters. Child specialists everywhere re- .commend Horlicks for these "nervy" children with fäded ap- petites.
The reason is that Horlicks not only builds bone and muscle, but. it stimulates their appetites for the foods they need. In a remarkably short time they get strong, healthy, full of life and "go." And children love the taste. of Horlicks. Get Horlicks to-day.
