Protos STAYS DOWN in the Weakest or the Sickest Stomach-:-:-It Will Not Ferment-It Nourishes. Do you know what Protos Flour will do? It will agree with any stomach, no matter how weak or rebellious that stomach. That's because you cannot ferment Protos. No matter how much the stomach has been abused it will digest Protos Flour, and will send its rich nourishment into the system. Babies who cannot retain milk grow rosy-cheeked, healthy and hearty on the foods made from Protos Flour. Invalids who cannot assimilate broths find Protos delicious, appetizing and so nourishing that it gives immediate impetus to health and strength. Dyspeptics, whom every other food distresses, find relief, strength and satisfaction in Protos, and a permanent cure for their trouble. Convalescent fever patients, to whom other foods are a danger, grow strong and well quickly on a dlet of Pratos. Here's What Doctors and Vsers Say:- Aurora, Ill., March.11, 1903. , Automatic Electric Co., Chicago, March:6, 1903. Cero-Koffa Co., ChlQago. . - Cera-Raffa Co., Chicago.
