Slippery  Elm  Pood 

FOR 

INFANTS  and  INVALIDS 

AND  AS  A  GENERAL  FOOD. 


Slippery  Elm  has  been  long  known  as  a  nutritive 
of  the  greatest  value,  but  owing  to  the  difficulty 
of  using  it  in  its  pure  state  it  has  not  been 
used  as  much  as  it  deserved  This  Food  gives 
the  Slippery  Elm  in  a  form  easily  mixed  and 
prepared  and  at  the  same  time  easily  assimi¬ 
lated  by  the  digestive  organs. 

Slippery  Elm  Food  rapidly  increases  bodily 
strength  and  vigour.  It  may  be  taken  with 
advantage  in  place  of  porridge  and  other 
breakfast  foods.  As  a  diet  for  Infants  it  has 
no  equal,  and  Babies  will  be  found  to  thrive 
on  this  when  other  foods  are  rejected.
