worth reading.
IT want to tell you OF the crrative!
properties Of the good food Grape-Nuts,
and will say they arc whole fortune to
any one suffering as / did for years with
a stomach so rcbellious as to be alluost
useless to me.
.F'or years and years I was tortured
with fiatulency, heart burn. bloating,
tenderness OF the stomach. and many a
time cried bitterly because OF my great
distress.
Zone never to be forgotten day Sister
came up from Columbus to visit me.
She brought a package of Grape-N Nuts
to see if the food would agree with me.
I found the new food very delicious with
cream, and is caused me no pain or dis
turbance whatever.
q ITO make a long story short have
been using Grape-Nuts ever since. Have
gained 20 pounds in five months and my
health is perfect. It is q pleasure to be
plump and healthy and feel well again
