TWO NEW WORKERS.
One Gives the Other a Handy Lift.

One Gives the Other 4 Handy Lift.
Mr.. e c. Hazard, one of the Oldest and
best-known Wholesale, srocers in New
York, mas for many years given his at1ef-
ton TO the preparai on OF tine looc deil-
cacies. He has a farm and experiment
station down on Staten Island, where the
famous Shrewsbury Ketchup, Burnt Onion
Sauce Shrewsbury Mushrooms and
otaer delicacies are prepared in most
Skillful manner.
One evening last autumn while on his
way home. Mr.. II. sat with one OF the
officials of rhe n. j. c. Railroad, who
seemed to be living with one foot in the
graNe-stona 50 badly dlsordered that
nothing would digest. 1t seemed only
question of a few Weeks, at most, "hen
death would come.
Mr.. Hazard insisted upon taking the
gentleman to his house and giving him
package of Grape-Nuts breakfast food.
which IS manufactured by the Postum
Cereal CO.. al The pure food factories AZ
Battle Greek, Mich, a food VII Oh Mr..
Hazard had been using al his own table
for long time, greatly 10 MS benefit.
.sHe told the gentleman that he could
get well in a few weeks by the use of
perfectly prepared food of itlis sort. and
wo,l 4 never farset the das when he first
tried Grane-Nuts. Tie predistloa came
hui IS in better health than he mas eNne-
riencea for many years, all OF which ne
attributes 10 the .lise of Grape-Nuts and
from the advice of Mr.. Hazard .
There are TWO reasons for this; in the
first place. Grape-Nuts are made from
certain selected portions of wheat and
barley that contain phosphate of potash
and aio,,men which nature uses in the hu-
man system TO make up the gray matter
In the brain and nerve centres throughout
the body.
The nervous system, directly. controls the
digestive machinery and the bra n controls
the working and ,nonsy4rnakias power.
Mr.. Hazard knows this, from his knows
edge OF foods and from his own experience
with Grape-Nuts. Therefore, when he
took the raiIay official in charge; he
knew exactly what he was doing, and
the result proved the correctness of his
knowledge. 1870
