COULDN'T DO 1T.
Milk Diet Failed.

Food that will actually lift one out of
a sick bed is worth knowing of. A Chi
cago lady writes: Il want to tell OF
positiye cure Grape Nuts Food has
made in a case that was considered al
most hopeless.
Il know you do not look upon Grape
Nuts as a medicine, but inasmuch as
the food certainly does build up worn
ont systems, it seems to me it is close
ly allied to a tonic. Now about the
cure.
Last spring a dear girl friend reil
i'll and was taken to one of the hospl-
tails, but weeks before entering the nos
p,tal she had been able to take noth-
ing but milk to nourish her, all other
foods distressing the stomach so much
that she tried to live on the milk alone.
THE doctor In the hospital endeav-
ored to keep her alive with broth and
other food, but her stomach refused to
retain anything but milk, and very lit
tie of that at time.
~ worked away at the resident ply
stefan until he consented to my taxing
her home to see what the change would
do for her. The poor child was so very
weak and nervous and so frail that L
felt quite dubious about the outcome;
nevertheless / knew enough about
Grape Nuts Food, which ! intended to
give her. to feel that it would bring her
out After she had rested a little while
warmed some milk and poured II over
a tablespoonful of Grape Nuts and per-
suaded her to take it. She did so win
fear and trembling for she did not ex-
pect to keep the food down After CIV
ing her the food l started to read her
story, and altho it was an interesting
one she fell asleep. When she finally
awoke her first words were, Did real
ly keep the Grape-Nuts?
she had kept them, but could
scarcely believe 1t. After two or three
hours gave her little more with the
same good result. Gradually and eau
tiously l increased the amount until
after a few days she was able to eat
saucer full with no bad effects.
.She lived on Grape-Nuts entirely
and gained strength so rapidly that she
soon recovered, and now recommends
Grape Nuts to all her friends. She says
she would be glad to have any one who
is suffering from stomach trouble write
her, and she will tell what Grape Nuts
Food has done for her. and how CRATE

"A clergyman of our acquaintance
eats a dish of Grape Nuts before pre-
paring his sermon. I asked him once
If he got inspiration from the food. He
said. Not only that, but 1T seems to
clear my mind and make my 'thirdlys'
and 'fourthlys' come much more quick

having to think about digesting Grape
Nuts at all, they have done the digest
ing themselves. and all we have to do
is to tickle the palate by swallowing
them This same gentleman assured
me that he would rather dispense with
any article of food on the table than
Grape-N Nuts.

sometimes little fresh or canned fruit
