A SCIENTIFIC BREAKFAST

Rightly selected food will cure more
than half the diseases. Try a scien-
tific and healthy breakfast:-Fruit of
some kind, preferably cooked; a dish Of
Grape-Nuts, with cream two soft boil
ed eggs. Put two eggs in a tin pint
cup of boiling water, cover and set off
for nine minutes. Whites will then be
the consistency of cream and most cas-
ily digested One slice of bread with
butter; cup of Postum Cereal Food Cot
fee.
On that breakfast you can work like
a horse and be perfectly nourished I'M
til noon. Your nervous troubles, heart
palpitation, stomach and bowel trou-
bles, kidney complaints and various
other disorders will gradually disappear
and firm solid health will set In.
Why You have probably been liv-
ing on poorly selected food, that is,
food that does not contain the required
elements the body needs. That sort of
food, and coffee, is the direct or indi-
rect 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 contain fine microscopic parti-
cles of phosphate of potash obtained in
natural way from the grains OF tAe
field and by scientific food experts in
corporated 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
: A man or woman thus fed is scien-
tif1cally fed and rapidly grows in vigor
and vitality, and becomes capable of
conducting successfully the affairs of
life. To produce perfect body and a
money making brain, the body must
have the right kind of food, and the eX-
pert food specialist knows how to make
it. That is Grape-Nuts and Postum
Cereal Food Coffee, produced at the
pure food factories of the Postum Cere-
al Co., Ltd, at Battle Creek, Mich.
