COULDN'T DO 1T.
Milk Diet Failed.

| Food that will actually lift one out
| of sick bed is worth knowing of. A
| Chicago lady writes, Il want to tell OF
a positive cure Grape-Nuts Food has
made in a case that was considered al
most hopeless.
! 1 know you do not look upon Grape
| Nuts as a medicine but, inasmuch as
| the food certainly does build up worn
| out systems, it seems to me it is close
| ly allied to a tonic. Now about the
cure.
Last spring a dear girl friend fell i'll
| and was taken to one of the hospitals,
| but weeks before entering the hospital
| she had been able to take nothing but
milk to nourish her, all other foods dis
| tressed the stomach so much that she
| tried to live on the milk alone.
The doctor in the hospital endeavored
to keep her alive with broth and other
| food, but her stomach refused to retain
anything but milk, and very little of
that at a time.
1 worked away at the resident ply
stefan until he consented to my taking
her home to see what the change would
do for her. The poor child was so very
weak and nervous and so fraiI that 1
felt quite dubious about the outcome,
nevertheless knew enough about
Grape-Nuts Food, which I intended to
give her, to feel that it would bring her
out After she had rested little while
I warmed some milk and poured it over
a tablespoonful of Grape-Nuts and per-
suaded her to take it. She did so with
fear and trembling, for she did not ex-
pect to keep the food down. After Civ
ing her the food 1 started to read her
story, and although it was an in
ter-a inc % fell
she finally awoke her first words were.
Did 1 really keep the Grape-Nuts?'
She had kept them but could scarcely
believe it. After two or three hours
gave her a little more with the same
good result. Gradually and cautiously
I increased the amount until after a
few days she was able to eat a 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 anyone who is
suffering from stomach trouble write
her, and she will tell what Grape-Nuts
Food has done for her, and how CRATE
full she is to the man who had the fore
thought to manufacture a food already
digested so that weak stomachS can
take it. Her name is Lille NJ Gestabt,

A clergyman of our acquaintance eats
a dish of Grape-Nuts before preparing
his sermon. 1 asked him once if he got
inspiration from the food. He said,
Not only that, but it seems to clear my
mind and make me 'thirdlys' and
fourthlys come much more quickly.
Just think about ones stomach not hav-
ing 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-Nuts.
We eat the food regularly with some
times a little fresh or canned fruit
added. We call it our tonic My hus-
band joins in thanking you heartily for
its manufacture" Name given by Pos
