1. H. & H. HEALTH HERBS

(NON-APERIENT)

No household should be without this splendid mixture of herbs designed to keep every member of the family in perfect health.

Health Herbs are designed to keep all the functions of the body working correctly. Taken regularly they strengthen the body’s organs, cleanse and enrich the blood, and regulate the system. Moreover, they tone up the digestion, steady the nerves and increase vitality. This is making no undue claim for them, for these are the body’s normal functions if one is in perfect health—the birthright of every man, woman and child. But to the majority of folk, the vitality of mind and body that comes from perfect fitness is almost unknown. Imperfect working of the organs is so common that countless people are, so to speak, ill without knowing it. All this can be changed by regularly taking this infusion of Health Herbs.

Not a Medicine.—It must be undertsood that this is not a medicine, nor an aperient—it is a health drink. A wineglassful each morning before breakfast is sufficient and those who start the day in this manner will find they can carry through the heaviest day’s duties with surprising energy and ability.

The Family.—The benfit of a daily beverage which tones up the health of the whole household, will be clear to every housewife. The Health Herbs in varying doses are suited to every member of the family. For children they mean more resistance to epidemics and chills and an end to that peevishness and tiredness which result from sluggish organs. Their effect on school-children, especially towards end of term, will be found particularly beneficial.

The business members of the family will, by taking these Herbs regularly, find themselves more energetic, brighter and clearer in mind and more fit to cope with the day’s work. Taken in the morning, their effect will be felt throughout the day, with none of that weary and jaded feeling with which one so often returns home at night. Tiredness, lack of confidence and inability to concentrate (often resulting only from failure of the body to eliminate waste products) give place to a clear mind and full vitality which come from a perfectly-functioning body. Most benefit of all will, we believe, be felt by the busy housewife herself. Not only will she have a fitter and happier household, but her own health will be so much improved, that her unending duties will cease to be burdensome. We are confident that these Herbs will prove a very great contribution to health and therefore to happiness wherever they are used.

MIDDLE AGE. To many men and women who have passed their fortieth year, it is a source of justifiable pride that they neither look nor feel their age; but they should realise—however reluctantly—that they cannot work, or play, with the same vigour as formerly. Less strenuous forms of exercise must be followed, but the muscles must not be allowed to become flabby nor the body to spread. It is easier for a man than for a woman—for her, not only is there a slackening of physical activity, but there is often an actual suffering, which in many cases can quite easily be relieved. The important thing at this time of life is not to brood over the changes that are taking place, but to cultivate a calm outlook—observe moderation in everything you do—take frequent rests—avoid constipation—exercise daily—avoid strong stimulants.

There is a great consolation in the fact that it is only a passing phase, and like countless others, you can weather the same storm successfully.

From letters we receive from women, we know that our Herbs have given great relief in what would have proved a distressing period, and we confidently recommend to you our Health Herbs No. 1.

CHLOROPHYLL TABLETS. These are particularly valuable to persons of middle age with lowered vitality, and to those who feel old before their time. The greatest menace of advancing years is hardening and narrowing of the arteries by the accumulation of deposits. When this takes place, an additional burden is thrown on the heart in forcing the blood streams through their narrowed channels, resulting in weakness and debility, high blood pressure and the danger of heart failure. It is, therefore, imperative that the arteries should be kept young and elastic. Nature has provided for this in the substance Chlorophyll, the vital constituent of plant life. Our tablets contain this wonderful product of sunlight in a form easily and naturally absorbed by the body. Their effect is
