Desire For Food
Is Important
Appetite Is Necessary In Order To
Digest What We Eat.

We notice that some of the most
eminent physicians of this country and
Europe who have made a study Of the
process of digestion unite in the opin-
ion that a keen appetite is a great aid
to proper digestion. Some even go so
good sharp appetite for the food eaten
in order that it be properly digested
and assimilated. DIR. j. p. Pawlow's
essay on THE Work of the Digestive
Glands" which was awarded the Nobel
prize, sets forth very clearly the value
of appetite.
There is no other such safe sure
means for creating a healthy appetite
as Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer taken be-
fore or with your meals, and it is an
almost absolute guarantee of perfect

great weight with those seeking
health.
Pabst Blue Ribbon is such beer as
DR.. Felsler recommends 1t is prod

of the barley in predigested form. 1t
gives Pabst Beer its rich nutrition and
the fine mellow flavor which distin-

from the cleanest kitchen can be

than this celebrated beer.

When a horse is so over worked it
