Pure beer is a scientifically made malt solu- tion, derived from malted barley and fla- vored with hops. In this malted condition the grain is much more nourishing than in its natural state and the beer has many bene- ficial activities when taken as a beverage. In the first place pure beer is in itself a ‘complete food, rich in proteins, maltose and dextrin, mineral salts. and organic phosphorous compounds. It is superior to either cider or wine in its nourishing qualities, Consumed at the rate of. one bottle per meal, it would replace 300 grammes of bread in food ' value, beeause of its content of extractives, carbohydrates and proteins. Pure beer assists valuably in the assimilation of other | foods, for, by reason of its hop-bitter principles, ita weal aleoholie strength and its dissolved carbonic cid gas, it exerts o beneficlally stimulating action on the stomach. Beer is a beverage rich in ‘itamines, So necessary ‘to the well being of the human organism and as a -de- fense against disease. been completel presence of the antiseptic. ‘ .
