ORIGIN.
OF a Famous Human Food.

OF Famous r1uHSH SOSOs
The sorry of great discoveries or In
ventions Is always OF interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack Of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led to-
study various foods and their elects
upon the human system. In other
words before he could carry out his
plans he had to find food that would
carry him along and renew his physt"
cal and mental strength.
He knew that q food that was q
brain and nerve builder, (rather than
q mere fat maker), was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-NutS, the now famous
food. GrapeNuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements In
condition for easy digestion. The re
suit of eating Grape-Nuts daily ID
easily seen in a marked sturdinesa
and activity of the brain and nervous
| system, making it a pleasure for one
to carry on the daily duties without
fatigue or exhaustion. The food Is
in no sense a stimulant but is simply
food which renews and replaces the
daily waste Of brain and nerves.
Its flavor is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at thu
factory it Is served instantly witt
cream.
The signature of the brain worke
spoken Of G. w. Post, is to be seel
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts.
Look in each package for a copy o
the famous little book, ~Ths Road =
WSllvills."
