" I feel I must testify to the value of your *Malteio' (Wilson's Malt Extract) as a digestive aid. For months I was a martyr to indigestion. Immediately after eating my face used to become very flushed, and the rushing of blood to my head often made me giddy. Severe pains in the stomach used to follow every meal I &te, however light. I started a course of your 'Maltexo' e. few weeks ago and have not been troubled since. It is a treat to feel I can eat my food without having to look forward to the old discomforts." The above is only one of numerous voluntary letters received, testifying to the value of Wilson's " Maltexo " as «. digestive agent. body-builder, and strengthening tonic food. Even doctors have written to say that they prescribe it for their patients, take it themselves, and get exotiient results.. With or without cod liver oil. All chemists sad stores. Be .sure to ask for "Maltexo." Wholesale: C. H. Hooper Bruaswiak Bnflxiiuga, Queen Steest» Ajick-
