ANY ONE CAN Prove the Value of Scientific Food.

A good straightforward test of food Is worth much to humanity. The following is interesting:
 MT. T, K. Durboraw of Greenfield, O., says: After months sickness with little appetite and almost no digestion Wife finally put me on Grape-Nuts and I actually lived on this food, taking it three times a day, and cup of Postum Coffee at each meal for about four weeks.
 When l began l was so nervous and weak that my strength was exhaust ed even by dressing, and, of course, I was unable to do the work loaded upon my desk. but 1 hammered away without any tonics or medicines, only my diet of Grape-Nuts and Postum three times a day. I found at the end of 23 days my nervousness gone. strength greatly in- creased and that I had gained 16 pounds
 Finally after getting back to good health again I, of course, took on differ ent kinds of food, and, as a change. be- gan using-for breakfast. After a while some peculiar spells began to appear in the morning with deathly sickness and nervous lassitude. I took treatment for biliousness but that did not avail.
 About a month ago I gave up the
 -for breakfast and took on Crane Nuts again. These morning attacks left me entirely in a day or two and I fee, that I have had sufficient evidence of the scientific value of Grape-Nuts as a vital izing. perfect food, that does not require the heavy work of the stomach occasioned by the use of starchy foods we use sc much nowadays"
