Any Sickness Leaves Weakness
Even a simple cold strips and reduces your resistive
powers to allow other sickness. Only food not alcohol or
drugs creates the rich blood which distributes strength to
the body, and the concentrated medicinal food in
Jil'J St
makes the blood rich and stimulates its circulation while its
tonic virtue enlivens the appetite and aids nutrition to
reestablish youi strength quickly and permanently. If you
are rundown, anemic or nervous, by all means get Soott'a
