To Be Healthy
of people from all parts of the world crowd
each year to seek relief from stomach and
intestinal troubles.
Persons with stomach or duodenal ulcers
are caught in a vicious circle. They are in
desperate need of the minerals and vitamins
found in fruits and vegetables. But they
must forego this kind of food, because the
ulcerated condition of the digestive mem
branes is easily irritated by the scratchy,
rough bulk fibre in which fruit and vege
table juices are held.Thereforethe so-called
"bland"diets are prescribed forthem,made
up largely of non-irritating mushes and
breadstuffs. To be sure, these diets do not
cause irritation to the digestive membranes.
But patients held strictly to bland, non-irri
tating diets never find real health, because
thefood they are allowed to eatfails to give
them thelife-bringing minerals.
Health Cocktails give to these sufferers
the minerals and chemicals which they so
greatly need, in a form that builds up the
blood without causing irritation to their im
paired digestive systems.
