HOW TO OVERCOME FEVER EXHAUSTION Doctors now know that the greatest danger in fever comes from the pol sons it sets up in the blood-stream. Fighting these polsons leaves every nerve anel organ in the body exhausted.

One of those tired organs is the Blomach. Just when the body requires nourishment most urgently, the diges- tion is very often too weak for solid diet. What you need is a highly nou- rishing food that puts no sirain on the delicate stornach. For that reason doctors prescribe Horlicks in fever cases..

From the Arst day on Horlicks you begin to mend. Horlicks is a com plate balanced food containing all the elementa necessary to rebuild wasted nerve and flesh and muscle, · It creates new vitality nad energy, restores robust health quickly. Get Horlicks to-day from your store.
