baby foods or COWS milk prepared IN
different ways, we must do something or
lose the baby. That was the condition OF
our little one about 4 year and a half ago
Eve tried every baby food on the mar
ket, besides the cows milk, but nothing
seemed to agree with him. He suffered
from indigestion, until by the time he
was nine month old, he had grown so
weak and emaciated that we didn't think
he could live. AT last his stomach .e-
fused to take anything, and for three
days the little fellow was actually starv
ing for something he could digest.
II happened to have a box OF Grape
Nuts in the house and getting a teaspoon

letting the food stand a few minutes, then
gave the baby the brown water which had
the strength of the Grape-Nuts in it. He
could take but TWO spoonsful at time
and then rest d while
