HORSE SUCKED. Rider Severely Hurt.

A Cincinnati man visiting in Texas, on a ranch, was thrown from horse and so severely injured that his life was des- paired of. He takes pride in telling how food saved his life. The heavy drugs given seriously injured his stomach and as he says Tt seemed l would soon have to starve in the midst of plenty. Ely stomach refused to digest food and l ran down from lG5 to 133 pounds. When my appetite failed I was ready to give up, and 1t looked as though 1 would soon
 wink out
 One morning the foreman's daughter brought in what she called splendid food and it turned out to be Grape-Nuts. A little skeptical l ate it and found 1t was good, and just the kind of food l could keep on my stomach which had been almost burned out by the vile drugs.
 1 felt that had obtained a Iew lease of life for improvement set in at once. A week later l was weighed and had gained two pounds. My weight has since steadily increased by the constant use of Grape Nuts, and am now better than have been in years, as my friends will testify.
 In all kinds of athletic sports notice I have a greater reserve force than for merly, for which I am indebted to Grape Nuts. Taken in moderation it is the greatest food of its kind in the world, be- ing equally we'll adapted to athletes and invslids." Paul Alvin PIatS. 1906 Dig low Ave, Mt. Auburn, Cincinnati, o.
