HECKERs FARINA. prepared ex-

HECK Rs FARINA, prepared ex-
Ill pressly for families, delicate and appro-
pirate food for all seasons, and one Of the most
economical, nutritious, and wholesome prepara-
tons ever brought 10 the table, cminenty com.
bining the qualification of the palate with ample
and hcathful 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 10
be saiutary; and wherever known is extensively
used in hospitals and private practice. The pres
ervaton of health or the prevention Of sickness
is at least important as the curing OF disea ,e.
People in health should therefore use Heckers'
Farina freely as common food, 10 preserve the in
estimabe blessing.
