CHILDREN WHO

WON'T EAT

There's nothing so wearing for

a mother as a child who won't eat well. Usually, such a child is the "nervy" highly-strung type. He picks at his food, looks pale and loses weight.

Coaxing won't improve matters. Child' specialists everywhere re- commend Horlicks for these "nervy" children with faded ap- petites,

The reason is that Horlicks not only builds bone and muscle, but it stimulates their appetites for the foods they need. In a remarkably short time they get strong, healthy, full of life and "go." And children love the taste of Horlicks. Get Horlicks to-day.
