THE SCIENTIFIC WORK OF
A FOOD EXPERT.
.Ocers Furnish at l5c.

It is plain enough proposition that, if we
use up, destroy and cast out, minute parts
of the body each day we must make good
these parts and rebuild each day or we go
backwards and break down.
Chemists have analysed the little part-
cles thrown off through the pores of the
body and find Phosphate of Potash as the
result Of active brain work.
This must be replaced or nervous pros
tration sets in.
Can we rebuild it with the drug Phos-
phate of Potash
No, for nature demands that element fur
nished as found IN the grains, in fruits
and in meat, and as prepared In her owA
accurate laboratory.
Food experts have utilized the knowledge
that brain matter is composed of Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash.
They have taken the parts Of grains
known to contain these elements and skill
fully prepared food for human use, Civ
ing it the name of Grape-Nuts.
This food is of delicious flavor, is in coarse
granules and ready cooked. 1t can be served
instantly with a little cream or milk, hot
or cold, as preferred.
A distinct increase in mental power is
observable after ten days or two weeks
