QUICK RECOVERY AFTER ILLNESS

↑

COR

Very often period of valescence is much more critical than the actual illness that preceded it. Your whole body is left in a state of complete exhaustion. You have no strength to combat any renewed attacks,

Doctors und nurses realize the Importance of a speedy recovery after illness. In Horlicks they have found a highly nourishing food that can be enally digested when all other foods cause nausea.

Horlicks rebuilds your exhausted body. Convalescence is shortened, You feel full of vigour and vitality, Always keep Horlicks ready at hand.

In these difficult times of anxiety and worry, the task of carrying on and doing work which must be done Is a doubly difficult one which must tend to exhaust one's nervous energy. Horlicks builds up strength, vitality and prevents that listlessness and tiredness caused by constant nervous strain. H M. Hodges, 400-408, Asin. Lite Building, Hong-
