How to Feed Nervous Cases.

Hysteria sometimes leads to insanity
and should be treated through feeding
the brain and nerves upon scientific
ally selected food that restores the
lost delicate gray matter. Proof of the
power OF the brain food Grape-Nuts is
remarkably strong.

ing very hard as a court stenographer
l collapsed physically and then nerv-
ously and was taken to the State Hos
pital for the insane at Lincoln, Neb., a
raving maniac.
They had to keep me in q strait
jacket, and l was kept in the worst
ward for three months. ! was finally
dismissed in the following May, but
did no brain work for years until last
fall, when l was persuaded to take the
testimony in two cases. One of these
was a murder case, and the strain
upon my nervous system was so great
that would have broken down again
except for the strength had build up
by the use of Grape-Nuts. When 1
began to feel the pressure of the work
on my brain and nerves 1 simply in
creased the amount of Grape-Nuts,
and used the food more regularly
L now feel like my old self again
and am healthy and happy. / am sure
that If / had known of Grape-Nuts
when had my trouble eight years ago
would never have collapsed and this
dark spot in my life would never have
happened Grape-Nuts' power as a
brain food is simply wonderful, and

that ii cannot digest this wonderful
