When the stomach became weakened, the digestion of ordinary food becomes only partial, and at times is painful. little of the food is assimilated, and the body, it consequently insufficiently nourished.

This is where Benger's Food helps. It contains in itself the natural digestive principles, "And is quite different from any other food obtainable.
