One ordinary cause of poor
health after 40 is slower diges-
tion-which may follow from
the tendency of the gastric flow
to become thinner and weaker
as people grow older.
In that case, as many people
past 40 have found, you can
improve your general health
by helping your digestion.
Feischmann's Yeast helps
digestion by causing a fuller,
more potent flow of the gastric
