Then came a change. I was admitted to the Bar, and wholly abandoned my outdoor life. The effect on my health was disastrous.. Constipa tion and blood impurities became first an an noyance, then a menace, and finally a chronic disability. My nerves were 'on edge'; I became moody, irritable, and subject to intense de pression. One day I heard two chance acquaintances praising the merits of Fleischmann's Yeast. They spoke with enthusiasm, but it was their appearance, even more than their words, which decided me.... The age of miracles is still here. Inside of a fortnight I noticed a distinct improvement in my health; in a month I was literally a new man. Within a year my nerves had steadied and my appetite came back. I am today in the pink of condition and a convert for life to Fleisch mann' a Yeast. ELLERY H. CLARK 1112 Tremont Building, Boston, Mass. “the age of miracles is still here—in one month I was literally a new man” There is nothing unusual about the enthusiasm of the New England lawyer whose letter is printed above. Constipation, skin troubles, digestive disorders - all of them are generally due simply to wrong habits of living and eating. All of them have been becoming more com* mon year by year. Now at last we arc learning how to fight them. The whole secret of the overwhelming popularity of Flcischmann's Yeast is that it is a food, not a medicine, and that it helps to remove the cause pcrnwincntly, not merely to check the symptoms temporarily. Its millions of tiny living cells aid digestion and give the intestinal muscles regular, healthy exercise. Its rich vitamin and protein content increases the white corpuscles in the blood and helps to tone up the whole system. Remember that j leischmann's Yeast for Health comes only in the tinfoil wrapper, and cannot be purchased in tablet form. All grocers furor it.
