yea with malnutriton. palpitation Of
the heart. and loss OF sleep. Last
summer | was led TO experiment per-
sonally with the new food which /
used in conjunction with good rich

commenced its use. the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared. my hearts &C
ton became steady and normal. the
fJnctions OF the stomach were proper
