You Are SfarVinQ!

This is the ailment of the dyspeptic only in addi-
 ton there is the distress brought about by the stom- achs efforts to get rid of the nndgested food This also accounts for the craving for food and the unsa ished longing of those who have a poor digestion They half starved because their food does not as simulate, Of course the brain does not act normally when the stomach with it's myriads of nerves is cry ing out because of its undigestible load and filling the sufferer with self pity.
 This depIorable condition is quickly renedied ham Hoff's Malt Extract, which always successfully helps digestion. Indeed it is the perfect assmator ot food. Every person who takes for few days a glass of Johann Hoffs Malt Extract with his meals will realize the difference. Not only is the distress gone from the stomach, but there is also the unrns takable prompting of strength and energy because the nutrition in the food is penetrating to every DOT ton ot the body.
 Johann Hoff's Malt Extract is not astimuant with reaction. It isa glorious aid to natural laws In tact 1t makes natural laws operative and never disa grecs with anyone. These statements are facts and the unimpeachabe record of over half century provesit You wont find weddings, physically or mentally, among those who use Johann Hoff's Malt Extract with their meals.
