DOCTORS LEARNED
The Power 81 Pure Food.

Sometimes a physician who has ex-
hausted medical skill on his own case
finds that he has to look to pure food
to cure him by its simple and homely
yet natural and scientific principles.
A we'll known physician and surgeon
of Crowley. La, has spent a great many
years in this profession. THE services
of my life time" he says, have been
to try to better mankind; to help them
preserve health when in possession Of it
and to help them to regain it when lost.

Grape Nuts as a drowning man clutches
al a straw and to my great astonish-
ment and qualification I found that I
had discovered something besides
broken reed to lean upon, for the food
began to recuperate me Immediately
and it has now entirely cured me to
such an extent that I have returned to
my old habit of eating everything that
desire and can dose without distress.
And I have not only found a good
friend in sickness but a most delicious
dish as well. It IS the most nutritious
