manhood of the house. He asked the
house to send the bill back to confer

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out

Bread dyspepsia is common. It af-
fects the bowels because white bread
is nearly all starch, and starch is di-
gested in the intestines, not in the
stomach proper. Up under the shell
of the wheat berry nature has provided
a curious deposit, which is turned into
diastase when it is subjected to the
saliva and to the pancreatic juices in
the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but
that part Of the wheat berry makes
dark flour, and the modern miller can
not readily sell dark flour, so nature's
valuable digestor is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that
nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis. per-
itonitis, constipation. and all sorts of
trouble exist, when we go so contrary
to natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them TO moisture, and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase. outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape sugar in a perfectly
natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces of
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore is nat
urally predigested and it's use in place
of bread will quickly correct the trOu-
bles that have been brought about by
the TOO free use of starch in the food
and that is very common in the human
race today.
The effect of eating GFape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the ditcontin-
1ance of ordinary white bread, is very
marked. The user viii gain rapidly in
strength and physical and mental
health.
