TOOK LAUDANUM AND GIN.
tArmstead Scott Goes to the Hospital
on Two Occasions.

Armstead Scott. fifty-two years old,
was twice taken to the Emergency Hos
pital last night, suffering from laudenum
and a big dose of gin. The physicians
believe he will eventually recover to re-
pent what they think was an attempt
to end his life.
Scott lives at 1916 First Street south
west, and is said to be laborer. Some
days ago he went on a spree, and his
nervous system is said to be yet in bad
shape. Yesterday, while alone in his
room, Scott swallowed a big dose of
laudanum, and he was soon in danger OF
death. A member of the household dis
covered him, and the ambulance was
summoned from the hospital. On being
treated at the hospital, Scott revived. and
was finally permitted to go home. This
was late yesterday afternoon
Toward 10 o'clock last night, Scott rode
to the hospital a second time in the pa
troll wagon. He had swallowed over a
pint OF gin and was in great pain. The
stomach pump was used for a second
time, and the patient is now better

HOW TO BUILD A BODY.

One Of the most important discoveries
OF late is the application of the right kind
OF food to rebuild the lost substances of
the body, thrown off by the active. ner-
vous work OF Americans.
Careful investigation by experts in food
and diatetics has brought out the fact
that albumen. which is contained in vari-
Gus foods, is acted upon by phosphate of
potash, not such as obtained in drug
stores. but such as Is found in certain
parts of the field grains in most minute
particles. arranged in Natures laboratory,
not mans.
The part of the grains containing phos-
phate of potash is used in the manufac-
ture OF Grape-Nuts Food, therefore the
active, nervous, pushing brain worker can
feed the body with food that goes directly
TO theirebuiiding Of the broken down grey
matter In the brain, solar pleyus and nerve
centres all over the body. with the result
that the individual who refreshes ard re-
builds the body with proper material of
this sort obtains a definite result which
he can feel and know Of and which is APP
parent 10 his friends.
A vigorous brain and nervous system
Is of the greatest importance to any busi-
ness man or brain worker.
