bining the qualification of the palate with ample

Strictly speaking, Heckers' Farna 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' Farna cannot fail 10
be salutary; and wherever known is extensively
used in hospitals and private practice. The pres
ervation of health or the prevention OF sickness
is at least as important as the curing OF disease
People in health should therefore use Heckers
Farna freely, as common food, to preserve the in
estimable blessing.
