MAKING SUNSHINE.
It Is Often Found in Pure Food.

The improper selection of food drives
many a healthy person into the depths
of despairing illness. Indeed most sick
ness comes from the wrong food and
Just so surely as that is the case right
food will make the sun shine once
more.
An old veteran of Newburyport, Mass,
says: I'm October, 1900, l was taken
sick and went TO bed. losing forty-seven
pounds in about sixty days. l had doc
tor after doctor but all food hurt me
SO had to almost live on magnesia and
soda All solid food distressed me SO
water would run out of my mouth in
little streams
Il had terrible night sweats and my
doctor finally said / had consumption
and must die. My good wife gave up all
hope We were at Old Orchard, Me-,
at that time and my wife saw some
Grape Nuts In a grocery there She
bought some and persuaded me to try it.
II had no faith in it, out took it to
distress me as all othaT food had done
and before l had taken the fifth package
II was we'll on the mend.
THE pains left my head my mind
became clearer; l gained weight rapidly.
7 went back to my work again, and now
latter six weeks use of the food / am
better and stronger than ever before in
my life. Grape-Nuts surely saved my
life and made me a strong hearty man,
fifteen pounds heavier than before l was
taken sick.
Both my good wife and / are willing
to make affidavit to the truth of this. -
