COULDN'T DO IT.
Milk Diet Failed.

Food that will actually lift one out of
a sick bed is worth knowing of. A
Chicago lady writes II want to tell of
= positive cure Grape-Nuts Food has
made in Il case that was considered al
most hopeless
IL know YOU do not look upon Grape
Euts as medicine but, masmuch as
The food certainly does build up worn
out systems, it seems to me it is close
ly allied 10 Il tonic. Now about the
cure.
Last Spring Il dear girl friend fell
i'll and was taken to one of the hos
pitala, but weeks before entering the
hospital she had been able to take
nothing but milk to nourish her, all
other foods distressed 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 10 re-
tain anything but milk, and very little
of that 9 II time.
II worked away at the resident ply
sician until he consented TO my taking
her home In see what the change would
do for her. The poor chic was 50 very
weak and nervous and so frail that |
felt quito dubious about the outcome,
nevertheless | knew enough about
.irape-N Food, which | intended to
give her, to feel that it would bring her
out. After she had rested little while
! warmed some milk and poured it over
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 | started to read her
story, and although II was am inter-
esting one she fell asleep. When she
finally awoke her first words We're, Did
l.reaHy keep the Grape Nuts?
she had kept them but could scarce
ly believe IL. After two or three hours
! gave her a little more with the same
good result. Gradually and cautiously
\ increased the amount until after
few days she was able to eat saucer
fun With no bad effects.
'She lived on Grape Nuts entirely
and gained strength So rapidly that
she soon recovered, and now recom-
mends 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 grateful she is TO the man who
had the forethought to manufacture a
food already digested so that weak
stomachs can take it. Her name Is

"A clergyman of our acquaintance
eats"a dish of Grape Nuts before pre-
pairing his sermon. l asked him once
If he got inspiration from the food. lie
said, Not only that but it seems to
clear my mind and make my 'thirdlys'
and 'fourthlys' come mucn more quick
ly. Just think about ones stomach
not having to think about digestlng
Grape-Nuts at all, they have done the
digesting themselves. and all we have
TO do is to tickle the palate by swallow
ing them.' This same gentleman as
sured me that he would rather dispense
with any article of food on the table
than Grape-Nuts.
~Ws eat the food regularly with
sometimes little fresh or canned fruit
