Mental and Physical Fatigue.

When brain or body is weary the digestive powers are weakened and distaste for ordinary food is often experienced. Under such circumstances the "Allenburys" Diet is especially valuable. It is pleasant to take easily digested and assimilated and speedily restorative. Thus it helps the system to recover tone and vigour, The 'Allenburys' DIET is prepared from pure rich milk and whole wheat-the two vital food elements-combined in partially pre-digested form.
