DANGEROUS SURGERY.
Should BE The Last Resort.

Many people suffer from piles because
after trying various lotions salves and
ointments without relief or cure, they
come to the conclusion that a surgical
operation is the last resort, and rather
than submit to the shock and risk 10
life OF an operation, prefer to suffer on
very often, however, the afflicted one
is over persuaded to resort to the kuife,
and even though the operation is appar-
emily successful, and there is complete
recovery from the shock incident thereto,
the result is invariably the same: the
piles sooner or later return because their
cause has not been removed This re-
suit is a logical one, inasmuch as the
knife removes the effects of the disease
only, while the cause remains as before.
There is claimed to be a remedy which
does remove the cause hence Graduating

Cure; it is in the form of a SuppOsitory

NEW THEORY ON
Cause of Hay Fever.


Hay fever is not so much a result Of
climatic conditions as it is a showing of
the ''weak spot" in the general condition
Of the body. If a hay fever sufferer
can he fed mp to a prime condition Of
health by the use of we'll selected food
the chances are the hay fever will not
present Itself.
AS an Illustration, a lady in Cave
Spring, Ga. explains how the change
of food affected her "This past sum
mer | found myself in a very low state
of health and much emaciated. got
down to IS pounds and was worried.
especially as / had to look forward to
my annual ttlssle with hay fever in Sep
tember and felt it would push me even
further down.
One day friend told me she had been
using Grape Nuts Breakfast Food and
that she felt like new person with
greatly increased strength and vigor 1
grasped at the straw and began the use
of Grape-N Nuts. The effect was really
magical. H. week felt toned up and
in month began in earnest to gain flesh
and strength. BY September my weight
had increased to 10 pounds and much
to my amaZemcnt I discovered that
when the hay fever sufferers began to
complain | had not one symptom ard
escaped it altogether. Inasmuch as I
had suffered for years from this mis-
cradle disease and had made no change
except in my food, naturally concluded
that my improved condition was caused
by the daily use of Grape Nuts and by
observing the usual laws of health ;"
