How to overcome Eear.

IN overcoming your various fears,
follow each one out to it's logical con-
clusion thus. and convince yourself
that at the present moment the things
you fear do not exist save in your
imagination. Whether they ever come
TO pass in the future or not, your
fear is a waste of time, energy and
actual bodily and mental strength.
Quit worrying just as you would quit
eating or drinking something you felt
sure had caused you pain in the past.

ABOUT FEAR
often Comes From Lack of Right
Food.


Food.
Napoleon said that the best fed
soldiers were his best soldiers, for
when the stomach is not nourished.
Nervous fear is sure sign that the
body is not supplied with the right
food.
a Connecticut lady says: For
many years / had been a sufferer from
indigestion and heart trouble and in
almost constant fear of sudden death,
the most acute suffering possible.
Dieting brought on weakness, emacia-
ton and nervous exhaustion and
was a complete wreck physically and
almost wreck mentally.
Il tried many foods, but could not
avoid the terrible nausea followed by
vomiting that came after eating until
l tried Grape-Nuts This food agreed
with my palate and stomach from the
start This was about a year ago.
Steadily and surely a change from
sickness to health came until now 1
have no symptoms of dyspepsia and
can walk 10 miles z day without being
greatly fatigued. / have not taken q
drop of medicine since I began the
use of Grape-Nuts and people say 1
look many years younger than
really am.
My poor old sick body has been
made over and feel as though my
head had been too. Life is worth liv-
ing now and I expect to enjoy it for
many years to come If can keep
away from bad foods and have Grape
Nuts Name given by Postum Co.
