of digesting. Crossness, unhappiness
and nervousness were very prominent
symptoms.

sister and there l saw and used
Grape-Nuts. l had heard of this IA
nous food before, but never was in
terested enough to try it, fer never
knew how really good it was. But
when l came home we used Grape
Nuts in our household all the time and
l soon began to note changes in my
health. / improved steadily and am
now strong and well in every way
and am back at school able to get
my lessons with ease and pleasure
and can remember them too. for the

toms given above but feel fine and
