fered a nervous breakdown and was
in a precarious conditions. His doc
tor advised him to use HEMO, =

She had gone down to IS pounds
and after a few months use of
HEMO she now weighs 121 pounds
and still gaining flesh. Her vital
ity has increased wonderfully and
they are now converted to the idea
that proper feeding is the thing.
HEMO is the right food for those
generally debilitated from malnu-
triton, anaemia, chlorosis, also for
convalescents from surgical treat
