IF you do not enjoy your food
i it is a true sign that you are
losing your appetite. And when
your appetite is "gone" it means
you haven't the resistance to
ward off disease. Loss of appe-
tite is only a symptom. General
weakness pervades the entire
body. There is no desire to work
or play.

When you get your red blood

sluggish, let-down feeling, loss Of
