A SCIENTIFIC BREAKFAST.

Rightly selected food will cure more than half the diseases. Try a scientific and healthy breakfast:-Fruit of some kind, preferably cooked; a dish of Grape-Nuts, with cream; two soft-boiled eggs. Put two eggs in tin pint cup of boiling water, cover and set off for nine minutes. Whites will then be the consistency of cream and most easily 1.Sested. One slice of bread with butter; cup of Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
 On that breakfast you can work like a horse and be perfectly nourished until noon. Your nervous troubles, heart palpitation, stomach and bowel troubles, kidney com plaints and various other disorders will gradually disappear and firm solid health will set in.
 Why? You have probably besS living on poorly selected food that is, food that does not contain the required clements the body needs. That sort of food and coffee, is the direct or indirect cause of more than half the ills the human body acquires.
 Grape-Nuts is a perfectly cooked food and both that and the Postum Food Coffee con tain fine microscopic particles Of rh:S5,;Hate of potash obtained In a natural way from the grains of the field and by scientific food experts incorporated into food and drink. That element joins with the albumen in food to make gray matter, which Is the fill- ing of the brain cells and the nerve centers all over the human body. e
 A man or woman thus fed is scientifically fed and rapidly grows in vigor and vitality, and becomes capable of conducting success fully the affairs of life. To produce a per- feet body and a money making brain, the body must have the right kind of food and the expert food specialist knows how to make it. That is Grape-Nuts and Postom Cereal Food Coffee, produced at the pure food factories of the Postum Cereal Com pany. limited, at Battle Creek. Mich.
