The buoyant health and vigor which are every man's birthright— The sparkle and animation which every woman craves— Today we realize that they are impos sible without one thing: a body kept free from poisons! You must get rid regularly of the poisonous W'aste that accumulates in the intestines. Drugs and cathartics are worse than - useless, for they have to be taken in larger and larger doses, and at last the weak ened intestinal muscles refuse to respond at all. That is why so many physicians and hos pitals are prescribing Fleischmann’s Yeast. It is not a medicine, but a fresh corrective food. Every cake of Fleisch mann's Yeast consists of millions of tiny living plants which help to in crease the bulk of our con centrated modern diet, and gently encourage the intestinal muscles to act for themselves. Regular daily eating of Fleischmann’s Yeast is helping thousands of men and women to regain the splendid vigor of normal health. Like any other natural food, it must be ea ten regu la rlv to achieve results. Be sure you get Fleischmann’s Yeast— yeast in its natural fresh form. Recent ex periments have shown that yeast corrects constipation only when its cells are alive and active—that it loses its laxative effect when these cells are “killed” and dried. Eat two or three cakes a day—plain or dissolved in water, milk or fruit juices—preferably half an hour before a meal or the last thing at night. If you eat it plain, follow with a glass of water. Get several cakes at a time—they will keep several days in a cool, dry place. Be sure you get Fleischmann's Yeast! All grocers have it. Send for free booklet.
