GOOD FOOD.
GREAT HISTORY.
advertisement ·
In this 1920 advertisement from The New York Herald, the Fleischmann Company promotes compressed baker's yeast as an internal dietary remedy for skin conditions such as acne, blackheads, and boils, citing clinical work by Dr. Philip B. Hawk. The copy describes methods for consuming yeast cakes: plain, dissolved in water or fruit juices, or spread on bread or crackers, with an option to dissolve in boiling water for digestive comfort.
Pimples, blackheads, boils— signs of a lowered vitality
A familiar food now used to correct them
"THE causes of acne (pimples and blackheads) are always found in a lowered vitality," writes a skin specialist connected with several of New York's important hospitals. And "the repeated occurrence of boils should always be looked upon as an indication of lowered vitality," he also states.
Thousands of men and women suffer from these painful and embarrassing ailments. About three times as many women as men are troubled with pimples and blackheads. Boils, on the other hand, afflict more men than women.
To correct these widespread ailments, yeast, the familiar little cake of food, has long been prescribed by physicians and hospitals.
Today, the special value of Fleischmann's yeast as a "conditioner" and health builder is becoming widely recognized. It is now known to be the richest source of "vitamine"—a newly discovered food element, essential to health but lacking in many every-day foods. It thus helps correct the basic causes of acne and boils.
In investigations carried on under the direction of Dr. Philip B. Hawk in leading institutions in Philadelphia and New York, its value for treating pimples and boils was demonstrated. There was rapid improvement in cases of acne, and cases of boils were either greatly improved or cured more rapidly than ever before noted—and without recurrence.
To learn more about this new importance of yeast in diet, fill out the coupon below and send for the new booklet, "Yeast for Health." Constipation, a trouble that is often contributory to pimples and boils, is also being corrected by the addition of yeast to the diet. You will find interesting reports on its value for this trouble also in this booklet.
How to take yeast
Take from one to three cakes of Fleischmann's Yeast a day, before or between meals. You will quickly learn to like its taste. Different people prefer it in various ways—dissolved in fruit juices or water—spread on crackers or bread or just plain. Those who are troubled with gas should first dissolve it in boiling water. People ask: "Won't it, when taken, have the effect it has in raising bread?" No. Yeast is highly digestible and it is assimilated just like any other food. Your grocer will supply Fleischmann's Yeast with your regular orders.
Some take it in fruit juices or in water Some spread it on crackers or bread Others like it plain
