a Record After Using Different Foods.
Henry Myers, of Otsego, Mich i.
travelling representative of Gel tain
medical missionary association, mac e
some strength tests with different
foods, with the following results /:
I'm 1897 / became officially connected
with an institution manufacturing a
large line of health foods.
my desire was TO add strength. L
was in good health, and faithfully
lived, almost entirely for nearly two
years on their foods. and believed in
them thoroughly. In January. ,9S.
my strength lest showed 5, 700 pounds.
in January, 80, by the same machine,
my strength test was only 1860
pounds, a heavy falling off, notwith-
standing / had not been sick. but had
faithfully and religiously used the
foods so fully believed in and had
been hired to lecture for and advo-
cate.
FOR month after that test / was
uncertain what to do. / felt weak,
and what wanted was strength; SO
in February of that year L quit all
other health foods and began using
Grape-Nuts alone. Nv weight now
has Increased from 100 to 143 pounds;
my strength has increased from 500
pounds to 5, $40 and am now 1909
pounds stronger, by actual test, than
the average man. Ny eyesight is
clearer, my mind more active and
stronger, and / can endure more
labor, physical and mental, than ever
before.

the manufacturers of Grape-Nuts to

There seems to have been nothing to

favors, in some manner displeased
him. The drop from these sheer walls
is 1000 feet to the plain below. You
are, of course, about to die" said Chris
topic, "but l will be kind to you. You
shall have a choice of deaths. Either
you throw yourself over here or the
soldiers shall shoot you"
The young man chose to fling himself
into space. But by a miracle be fell
among some trees or bushes on the
cliff side and so escaped with a broken
arm. He gathered himself UP some
how and presented himself again be-
fore the emperor. Your bidding has

no answer. Finally they began to de-
spair, when a neighbor who had been
awakened by the din appeared in white

was the matter.
