what wonderful relief they afford In
stead of the grouchy bowl of soup
at homo and the abject terror at the
sight Of good things to cat at party
supper, the soup spoon has been re

the stomach to sour and create all sorts
of distresses. And they act as soon
as they enter the stomach, hence re-

Years

You were taught at school
that your body undergoes a
complete change of structure
every seven years.
This tearing down and build
ing up process of body tissue
continues without moments
pause throughout life.
And when a man gets into a
physical condition that the It's
sues keep breaking down and
wasting away faster than Ma
ture can replace them, right
then he begins to grow "old'.
This doesn't necessarily
mean, however, that he has
reached an advanced age.
Thousands upon thousands of
people begin to break down,
their vital organs giving evi-
dence Of fast approaching de-
cay, long before they reach
middle age simply because
they fail to give Nature, at
the proper time, the needed
help to rebuild.
Ifyou are beginning to show
the slightest sign of physical
'1et-down''-if you are losing
your old time pep" vim and
vigor-if high tension energy
and nervous strain are begin
ming to tell on you--it's a sure
sign that you are growing "old''
too old foryouryears. You've
reached that stage where your
vital forces need rebuilding.
