During fever, the whole system including the digestive organs is undermined and weakened. Con- valescence will be hastened it tissue can bo quickly rebuilt and strength restored by building up reserves. The patient must bo much encouraged to take as nourishing food as the capacity of the weakened digestive organa will allow. Doctors all over the world have found that Horlicks supplies the right kind of nourishment in an easily digested form. Furthermore, it is palat- able, and helps to stimulate the appetite. Get Horlicks to-day, at your. store. In an amazingly' short time you will be up, and strong again, full of vigour and vitality.
