flannel nightshirt and looked at the
parlor table.

Many seek relief by using cathartics
never realizing that in time drugs actually
weaken the intestinal muscles and render
the body unable to function normally.
Unlike drugs, Fleischmann's Yeast actu

fresh, living cells of Fleischmann's Yeast
contain a natural food with the very
elements which help the body perform its
two vital functions: (1) Remove regularly
all of the poisonous waste j (2) Build up
the living tistuet from day to day.
Like any other plant or vegetable, yeast
produces the best results when fresh and
"green" not dried or killed.' Fleisch
