In my mother’s trunk I found a small pamphlet entitled ” Keep Fit eat ( in red) Magic Yeast (in black).” With a girl playing tennis. On the inside it tell of all the benefits of eating yeast. Such as, treatment of boils,pimples, constipation, stomach and bowel disorders, auto intoxication, gas and acid stomach. It looks old but is in great shape.
