sT"The excellence of Pabst Malt Extract

professionally for years, always with the
most satisfactory results. For mothers
nursing their children and for general

of especial value, as it combines both

make it truly the Best Tonic"
II recently prescribed Pabst Malt Ex-

all of whom were suffering from dyspep-

cases it acted like charm. Two of
