Growing Girls
and Boys

Every physical or mental act that
is performed uses up millions upon
millions of red corpuscles of the
blood. The demand is enormous and
continuous. Is it any wonder that
the active boy and girl should mani
fest this need by hunger? Proper
food is required so that the system
may form new red corpusc1es.
HEMO is concentrated food
made with the idea of supplying
many of the elements needed in as
sisting nature to rebuild old blood
cells and to manufacture new ones.
It is so pleasing to the taste, so easy
to assimilate, and so we'll tolerated
by the stomach that a minimum
amount of effort by the digestive
system is required in converting
the food elements into red blood
corpuscles.
It is an ideal lunch for the boy or
