STRENGTH TESTS. Record After Using Different Foods

J. Henry Myers of Otsego, Mich, "a travelling representative of a certain medical missionary assoca ton, made some strength tests with different foods with the following result. He says: Tn 1897 l became officially connected with an institution manufacturing a large line of helth foods.
 My desire was to add strength I was In good health, and faithfully lived almost entirely, for nearly two years, on their foods, and believed In them thor oughy. Tn January 1ssS, my strength test showed 5700 pounds Tn January, 1899, by the same machine, my strength test was only 4560 pounds, 0 heavy fall ing off, notwithstanding 1 had not been sick but had faithfully and religiously used the food l go, fully believed in and had been hired to lecture for and advo- cate.
 For month after that test I was un- certain what to do. l felt weak, and what I wanted was strength; so In Feb ruary of that year quit all other health foods and began using Grape Nuts alone. My weight now has increased from 130 to 143 pounds; my strength has increased from 4560 pounds to 5940 and I am now 1909 pounds stronger, by actual test, than the average man. My eyesight is clearer, my mind more active and stronger, and I can endure more labor, physical and mental, than ever before.
 "I do not know any person interested in the Postum Cereal Co.,. Ltd, and this letter Is not written with any motive ex- cept to bring honest facts to the attention of persons desiring to live well and live nationally. I have the charts filled out by the physicians at the institution mak- ing the health foods that failed In my case and these facts cannot be disputed by any one. l will make oath that they are absolutely correct"
 MT. Myers letter gives the name in full of the concern making the so-caled health foods, which failed in his case, but this name Is not given to the pub lie It is not the purpose of the manu- facturers of Grape-Nuts to build their business by depreciating the efforts of any competitor. This experience is print ed as an illustration of the indisputable fact that Grape-Nuts food is a true, hon. est and remarkable rebuilder of the hu- man body.

 Only yesterday we heard a man say: ''The Devil and Tom Walker. how do they do it?''
 He had just been told that the Pennsyl- vania Hat Company had increased their business 50 per cent over the same month year ago, while his firm was trying to keep even by offering anywhere from 2o to 40 per cent off
 It was suggested to him that if his firm hadn't put such a big profit on the new goods there wouldn't have been so many old goods left to take it off of. The se- cret of the Pennsylvania Hat Company s success Is low prices and fresh goods.
