DISTURBANCES

The big problem with sufferers from gastritis or other digestive disturbances is how to avold pain and discomfort when eating. The inflamed stomach walls are so sensitive that solld foods can not be retained. Even Bquid foods are often vomited,

Yet the patient must get quick new strength into his body. Doctors, and nurses have found that. Horlicks” is retained in the stomach when other foods are rejected. The reason is that Horlicks is so easy to digest, At the same time it rebulids the exhausted body, and restores strength and stamina.

Keep Horlicks ready at hand. It is delicious to taste. Your store sells Horlicks.
