On the other hand there is no mit to groceries and tinned foods that are accessible to all purchasera.

The great problem in gastritis and ather digeritve disturbances is how to rest the sick stomach and stii nourish
the exhausted body.
Solid food is out of the question. Even many liquid foods irritate the stomach lining and cause pains and vomiting. There is a food, however, which actually soothes the inflamed stomach. It is Horlicks. Doctors re- commend it in all cases of severe digestiva trouble because it la so easily assimilated and highly nutritious.
So
Horlicks is a complete food in itself. It soon rebuilds the wasted tissues, restores the lost appetite, pour
