FOUR POUNDS OF FLESH.
From One Pound OF Food.

The statement is made that one
pound of Grape Nuts will supply more
nourishment chat the system will alb
sorb), than 10 pounds of meat, wheat
or oats.
A man protested that the claim was
eXtravagant, but upon trial it was
found that by leaving off meat alto
gether at breakfast and lunch, and
taking in its place, four heaping tea
spoons of Grape-Nuts began to gain
flesh and strength and before the full
pound package was gone had gained
four pounds in weight, whereas he had
been losing on his meat diet.
How could he gain four pounds and
only eat one pound Grape-Nuts? Re
member the four teaspoons of Grape
Nuts are but portion of the meal. but
they furnish the pre-digested and cas-
lily assimilated part and help digest
other foods assisting nature in building
in water (15 per cent. of all tlesh) In
other words Grape-Nuts furnish the
workers or the active elements of food
in the most perfect condition for ma
ture to make use of.
Grocers furnish Grape-Nuts at ID
cents per package.
