for things American.

When a chemist measures food
value, he does SO in terms of
calories. A calorie is the amount
of energy required to heat one
gram of water one degree. The
value OF the food we eat depends
upon the number of calories
which it contains. Without de-
failing the way in which these
tests are made, which would re-
quire too much space, it can be
stated here that teaspoonful of
Father Johns Medicine contains
25,715.76 calories. The same guam
tity of steak contains only 10,7l4
calories. By these tests also it
was proven that Father Johns
Medicine is FIVE times more nour-
ishing than an equal quantity of
cod fish and seven and one-half
times more nourishing than an
equal quantity of oysters.
Because it supplies the nour-
ishment which you do not obtain
from your food and supplies it in
the form which the system most
easily takes up and turns into
tissue, muscle, flesh and strength,
Father Johns Medicine has had
more than sixty years of success
as a food tonic for those who are
weak and run down.
1t is guaranteed that Father
Johns Medicine positively does
not contain any alcohol or any
dangerous, habit forming drugs
or opiates. 1t is a pure and
wholesome, nourishing tonic
