Food That Pot Him Right.


It is easy to correct the bad effect of
wrong eating if one will give it a little
thought. Scientific food is just as
pleasant to the palate. and in the case
of Grape Nuts, is more delicious than
improper food and it makes a world of
difference in health and spirits.
stsome three months ago writes Mr.
E. L. Saunders of Boston, Mass, IT
suffered terribly with indigestion: all
kinds of food distressed me; sometimes
I had a feeling Of suffocation about the
heart, especially at night. My sleep
was broken and ] lost flesh rapidly.
I commenced using Grape Nuts and
the relief from indigestion was almost
immediate, and in a. short time entirely
disappeared: my heart resumed its nor
NAL condition and [ attribute the cure
entirely to Grape-Nuts.
A welI-known lawyer of this city told
me that he suffered from excessive
nervousness, and before entering the
court room to try case was obliged
to resort to stimulantS. I urged him to
try Grape-Nuts which he did with al
most marvellous results; he not only
gained flesh, but the nervousness left
and his former strength and confidence
returned.
am convinced that Grape Nuts
gives strength to the body and vigor to
the brain. It is worthy of the highest
praise and I will cheerfully answer all
letters seeking information IN regard
TO the food = Remember CraDe-Nuts
food is most emphaticaIly not a rnedi-
Gated food in any sense Of the term
it is made Of wheat and barley by
scientific processes and the only reason
it helps cure people IS that they quit
improper food and take a food in which
the strong brain and nerve building
elements of Natures grains are pre-
served and presented to the digestive
machinery in a form that can be quick
" and surely digested.
