favor 80 unique and so delicious
that you II become as enthusiast

A new drink must be far above
the ordinary TO please the faded

Its favor alone would be enough
to make you want it always at
hand. But it IL healthful, too. For
it is made from millions Of tiny
plants which get their full growth
in less than an hour; and the same
marvellous energy which causes the
rapid growth Of these plants is
transmitted to the human body. It
causes every organ to function
with renewed vigor.
In addition science has added
the life-giving vitamins In q pro-
portion IL times as great as that
Of yeast cakes. Lime for the health
Of teeth and bones, and other
strength building mineral ats,
which do not affect it's wonderful
favor, have all b e n included.
Therefore, although this new bev-
erage has attained an instant
popularity because Of its delicious
taste alone, its users find that it
also soothes the shattered nerves,
relieves fatigue, purifies the blood,
brlghtens the eyes, brings new
color to the cheeks and promotes
deg, restful slurnher.
