GLASS OF WATER
Upset Her.

People that don't know about food should never be allowed to feed persons with weak stomachs.
 little over a year ago young woman who lives in Mercer. Me, had an attack of scarlet fever. and when convalescent was permitted to eat anything she want ed, Indiscrimate feeding sooh put her back in bed with severe stomach trouble and inflammation of the kidneys.
 "There I stayed" she says, three months. with my stomach in such con- dition that I could take only few tea spoonfuls of milk or beef juice at time. Finally Grape-Nuts was brought to my attention and I asked my doctor if might eat it. He said yes, and I com menced at once.
 The food did me good from the start and I was soon out of bed and entirely recovered from the stomach trouble. l have gained ten pounds since my recoV- cry and am able to do all household du- ties, some days sitting down only long enough to eat my meals. l can eat any thing that one ought to eat, but still con tinue to eat Grape-Nuts at breaktast and supper and like it better every day.
 Considering that year ago could stand only a short time and that glass of water seemed so heavy, l am fully satisfied that Grape-Nuts has been every thing to me and my return to good health is due solely to do.
 I have told several friends having ner- yous or stomach trouble what Grape-Nuts did for me and in every case they speak highly of the food" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
