HOW TO OVERCOME FEVER EXHAUSTION

Doctors now know that the greatest danger in fever comes from the poisons it sets up in the blood-stream. Fighting these poisons leaves every nerve and organ in the body exhausted.

One of those tired organs is the stomach. Just when the body re- quires nourishment most urgently, the digestion is very often too weak for solid diet. What you need is a highly nourishing food that puts no strain on the delicate! stomach. For that reason doctors prescribe Horlicks in fever cases.

Mrs. Elliman, aged forty and the mother of four children, and Mrs. Jones, aged twenty-one, bride of # fortnight. were on duty as volunteer nurses ID first and hospital in works which were recently borbed during an oir ra.d.

Jobs.

This is Mrs. Elliman's modest account of the "battle" in which she played so heroic a part.

"I am really an inspector at the works, but for over six months, in my spare time at night, I have been going regularly to a hospital to learn first aid.
