Strictly speaking, Heckers' Farina Is neither
stringent nor laxative, but restorative, strengen-
ing the digestive and absorbent system. In dis
ordered bowels, diarrhae, dysentery, and even IN
cases Of cholera, when food is deemed admissible
by the physicians, Heckers' Farina cannot fail 10
be saluiary; and wherever known is extensively
used in hospitals and private practice. The pres
eryalion of health or the prevention of sickness
is al least as important as the curing of disease
People in health should therefore use Heckers
