SALESMEN'S TRIALS.
Bad Food is One Of Them.

Road travelling is rather hard on sales
men. Irregular hours. Indifferent hotels
and badly cooked food play smash with
their digestion.
An old Philadelphia travele- tells how
he got the start of his troubles by using
Grape-Nuts. For years l vas troubled
with a bad stomach. which gave me con-
slant headaches and pains all through
my body, caused by eating improper food.
1 spent considerable money on doctors.
who said l had indigestion. and after taxi
ing medicine for a year and 1t doing me
TO good. l decided to go on a diet, but
the different cereals l tie did not help me.
If 1t hadn't been for the advice of a friend
to try Grape-Nuts, 1 might be ailing
yet.
l commenced to feel better in a short
time after using the food; my indigestion
left me; stomach regained its tone so that
l could eat eat anything, and headaches
stopped. 1 have gained In weight, and
have a better complexion than l had for
years. At many hotels. the statesmen will
have nothing IN the line of cereals but
Grape-Nuts, as they consider it not only
delicious. but also beneficial for their
health in the life they lead" Name given
