economical, nutritious, aud wholesome prepara

bining the gratification of the palate with ample
and healthful sustenance of tf?e body.
Strictly speaking, Heckem' Farina is neither
striugent uor laxative, but restorative, strengeu
iuir tne digestive and absorbent system. In dis
ordered bowels, diarrhae, dysentery, and even in
cases of cholera, when food ia deemed admissible
by the physicians, Heckera' Farina cannot fail to
be salutary ; and wherever known is extenaiveiy
used in hospitals and private practice. The prea

is at least as important as the curing ol disea e.
People in health should therefore use Heckers
