THE TURNING POINT
IN CONVALESCENCE į
When the crisis is past in illness recovery may still be a long way off. The real turning point for the better comes when the patient begins to fill out and pick up Noticeably from day to day.
.
The declsive factor in that quick recovery is good food. When patients canrrot take solid meals and have a disinclination for most kinds of food, doctors give them Horlicks, Horlicks is so light, that the most delicate stomach can as- similate it, so delicious that the most finicky. appetite responds to it. It is a complete food in itself, balanced, highly, nutritious, full of the elements that the wasted body needs to restore shattered nerves and build healthy tissues,
Keep Horlicks in the house al- ways. Yon can get it to-day at your store.
