They
are really suffering from
cumulative constipation"
COUNTLESS numbers of people have a daily
dimination of waste matterfrom the sys
tem but this elimination is not thorough
and sufficient They depend on a regular weekly
purge to rid their intestines of poisons and they
never feel the full vigor' and zest that come from
perfect heajth.
This whole problem is so important that a well
! known medical journal has. published a collection
' of essays on constipation. All the doctors who
wrote these essays emphasize the importance of
diet. As one physician puts it, "The diet has the
most marked influence upon the normal activity
of the bowels." . ; -
Scientists have how discovered the simple food
that helps restore normal conditions, and clears
the body of accumulating waste matter just the
familiar littie cake of Fleischmann's Yeast!
V First came the startling discovery that Fleisch
mann's Yeast richly supplies the essential water
soluble vitamine. Then it was found that it
builds up the body tissues and keeps the body
resistant to disease. In addition, because of its
freshness (you get it fresh' dairy) it helps the
intestines in their elimination of poisonous waste
matter. ' :.
Eat 2 to 3 cakes of Fleischmann's Yeast before .
or between meals every day. . Have it on the table,
at home and on your desk at the office. Eat it
plain, spread on bread or crackers, or dissolved
in water, milk or fruit juices. You will like its
fresh, distinctive .flavor ami the clean, wholesome
taste it leaves in your mouth.
Fleischmann's Yeast is assimilated just like
any other familiar food. Only "one precaution? if
troubled with gas, dissolve the yeast first in half a
cup of very hot water. This does not affect the
efficacy of the yedst. Place a standing order with
your grocer for Fleischmann's Yeast and get it fresh
.every day. :"" '. . .. - ' '
