“JUST AS GOOD AS" ENO'S “FRUIT SALT”

Think about ENO's "Fruit Salt" for moment. Ask yourself why it is accepted by the people of every nation as- the finest, enfert and most invigorating aid to good health. Perhaps you agree that ENO is everything that is claimed for it. But do you know this from your own personal ex- iperience? Have you actually put ENO to the test? Have you proved that it really does make you fitter and healthier, more energetic and clear-headed? Remember you cannot judge ENO by your experiments with other Balines..

Buy a bottle of "Fruit Salt" to-day and you will quickly see why there is no substitute for ENO-and why, for your health's sake, you must always resolutely refuse sub- btitutes.
