Because that kind of beer (and no other kind is brewed in Ontario) benefits the whole body of the normal adult,—enriches the blood, vitalizes the stomach, makes kidneys and liver active, builds flesh and betters nerves. Beer Is Not A Mere Tonic Good beer, drank with meals and at bedtime, is not merely a tonic—for a tonic simply gets one part of the system to work better for a while, by stimulating its activity, while beer, rightly used, does the whole system permanent good, Beer Builds Up Thin Folks That is why good beer is such a notable flesh -builder, and why it is so effective in changing the too -white blood of aenemic people into the red, strong, healthy blood of the vigorous.
