NEED STEAM! The Place to Get It Ia From Selected
 Food.

It is good to know the kind of food those with weak stomachs and hearts can get along with for when man or woman is Q little below par. an easily digested food Is the thing that goes right to the spot.
 A man in Kirksville, Mo. tells how he got out of trouble by using Grape Nuts Food. He says My trouble was intense suffering in the stomach It was called gastralgia, but no medicine gave any per- manent relief. In June of last year began to grow much worse fin every re- spect I was terribly constipated and the stomach pains were severe I ran down until I weighed only 120 pounds. l had to give up my business for my nerves were completely unstrung and I could not sleep more than two or three hours during the night. and that only by snatches during lull in the pain.
 l tried almost every kind of food, but finally was put on Grape-Nuts and in a little while 1t began to make It's worth known. I began to sleep better nights my strength gradually came back, and gained In weight rapidly until a little while ago I weighed 165 pounds and have been a well man for months with never Q touch of the old trouble.
 My bowels are perfect. the nervous trouble has gone. You can realize appreciate the value of Grape Nuts Food. Don't publish my name, but you can give it in private correspondence and I will take pleasure in answering the letters"
 This Is another evidence of the prac- tical worth of Grape Nuts Food in cases of weak stomach and bad digestion 1t Is the most scientifically made food in existence and contains absolutely noth- ing but selected parts of the field grains so cooked and prepared as to admit of almost immediate digestion and assimila- tion. carrying with 1t the elements fur nished by the All Wise Creator for re- building the nervous system, the soft part of the brain and the solar plex~s~
