Anaemia is another name for poor,
thin blood. To overcome Anaemia,
as we'll as other conditions arising
from the blood being in a bad state,
a blood maker is needed. Johann
Hoff's Malt Extract is a blood
maker in the true sense of the word.
It makes rich, red blood, and sup
plies force and energy to the body.
DR.. P. T. Gilgour of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes: 81 have used Johann
Hoff's Malt Extract with excellent
results in cases of persistent anaemia,
which failed to respond to any other
treatment at the hands of myself and
other physicians. 1t is always taken
too with great relish"

Ohio, writes: Il desire to add my
testimony to the efficiency of Johann
Hoff's Malt Extract. In Anaemia,
Chlorosis of young women, Conval-
escence after wasting or long-con-
