Come In Or Call . . . ^ v. if \ VX-J* ' McHENRY PLAINDEALER 3812 West Elm Street 385-0170 Ask for Bill Moore By: Russ Emerson. R.Ph. There is an old bromide to the effect that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." This old saying was put to test by Michigan State U. and it was found that 1300 appleeating students actually made fewer sick calls than other students. Respiratory and tensioninduced ailments were significantly fewer. Very likely the vitamin C content of the apples accounted for a lesser number of normal illnesses and some as yet unknown natural tranquilizing substance lessend everyday tension. When your medical needs require something more definite than what an apple can provide, call on MILLSTREAM DRUGS.
