Purity Bread Limited of Toronto for some months past have been conducting many tests and experiments in the production of these wafers. The full food value of Roman Meal is preserved in Dr. Jackson’s Roman Meal Wafers. The Flax-o-lin, imported from Austria. and the Rice Polishings, Imported from China, are the only two alkaline grain derivatives known to science today—and these ingredients liberally compose the Roman Meal Wafers, together with a combination of Whole Wheat and Whole Rye. The alkaline effect of these wafers tends to counteract the acid residues in the blood, and at the same time supply deficiencies in the diet. For children particularly, Dr. Jackson’s Roman Meal Wafers provide a nourishing food, building bones. strengthening teeth and making sturdy bodies. While this product has been pre-pared by Purity Bread Limited, Dr. Jackson himself has taken a keen interest in its development.
