teeth AND FOOD.
A Help in Time Of Need.

Sometimes bad teeth cause illness
particularly when they are not fit to
masticate food. A man in Ada, O.
had all of his teeth drawn. He was
sick with indigestion and lack of vi
tality and his teeth were in bad con-
dition. He expected, with a new COM
plete set of teeth, to regain his health
by thoroughly chewing his food. but
he had an experience that is well
worth knowing of.
Instead of improving l continued
to lose strength" he says. until
was a mere moving skeleton. 1 tried
a number of prepared foods but none
of them helped me until I got Grape
Nuts. The flavor pleased my palate
at once. I soaked the food in cream
and got along with it nicely. Within
few days I noticed that was not
so tired and jaded. Gradually l grew
stronger so 1 left off all other foods
and took only Grape-Nuts.
my old time vigor came back and in
two months I gained II pounds. This
was remarkable for am of spare
build. Now / sleep and feel wonder
fully well.
"Inasmuch as I am doing so nicely
without teeth l have concluded to wait
until my gums have finished shrink
ing before having a set made. I don't
believe could have gone through the
drain on my system had it not been
for Grape Nuts. There is no doubt
about the life-giving and nerve-build-
ing force Of that food. talk Grape
Nuts to all Of my friends" Name
