    DR NICHOLS’ WHEATEN GROATS, 6d. per lb. packet. A DIETETIC APERIENT. This highly nutritious food, a speedy and thorough remedy for Constipation and all its attendant maladies, is made from selected White Wheat, each kernel of which is flattened with a force which develops a peculiar mucilaginous sweetness, and renders it not only eminently healthful, but truly delicious, and in cases of habitual and obstinate Constipation, the best known remedy in dietetic medicine—gently and naturally stimulating the peristaltic and secretory action of the bowels, while it makes pure blood and perfectly nourishes every organ and tissue. This food is rich in all the elements of health, and is warranted superior to any, however widely puffed, at ten times its cost. One meal of two or three ounces of Wheaten Groats a day is a remedy for most cases of dyspeptic ailment, but in chronic constipation this food, with ripe or stewed fruit, should, for a time, form almost the entire diet. Of Chemists and Grocers. N.B.—3 lbs. free per Parcels Post for 2s. DR. NICHOLS’ MILK SOLVENT Is a Dietetic Adjuvant—a chemical compound, which, added to the milk of the cow, gives it the properties of mother’s milk, holds it in solution, and so favours the action of the gastric juice in weakly infants and dyspeptic invalids as to favour its rapid conversion into pure and living blood. Milk is secreted from the blood and contains all its vital elements; .and, by the process of digestion, milk is reconverted into blood. Cow's milk differs somewhat from human milk. It forms a harder curd in the stomach, and is more difficult of digestion. Dr. Nichols' Milk Solvent removes these differences, keeps the curdling milk soft and penetrable, and so facilitates the wonderful processes by which it is reconverted into blood, that the most debilitated and irritable stomach of the sufferer from Dyspepsia and Nervous Exhaustion, and the weakness of pregnancy or childhood can perfectly digest it, and the feeblest invalid be nourished and restored to health. Pint Bottles, 3s.; Quarts, 5s. Of Chemists. N.B.—Pint Bottles free per Parcels Post for 3s. 6d. x Of NICHOLS & CO., 23, Oxford Street, London, W.
