pirate food for all seasons, and one OF the most
economical, nutritious, and whole some pr-para-
tions ever brought TO The table, emineDtly com
bining the qualification of the palate with ample
and heathful sustenance OF the body.
Strictly speaking Heckers' Farina is neither
stringent nor laxative, but restorative, streneen-
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
ervaton of health or the prevention OF sickness
is al least as important as the curing Of disea g.
