Ill pressly for families, delicate and appro-
pirate food for all seasons, and one OF the most
economical, nutritious, and whoesome prepare
tons ever brought 10 the table, eminently CON-
biniDg the qualification Of the palate with ample
and healihful sustenance Of the body.
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 TO
be salutary; and wherever known is extensively
used in hospitals and private practice. The pres
ervaion of health or the prevention of sickness
is al least important as the curing Of dsea'e.
People in health should therefore use Heckers'
Farina freely, common food, TO preserve the in
estimablc blessing.
