ON FOOD.
The Right Foundation Of Health,

Proper food is the foundation Of
health. People can eat improper food
for time. and not feel any Ill results
until there is a sudden collapse OF the
digestive organs and then all kinds
of trouble follows.
The proper way out Of the difficulty
is to SHIFT to the pure, scientific food
Grape Nuts, for 1t rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says: Last summer was sud-
denly taken with Indigestion, and Sc
we're stomach trouble, and could not eat
food without great pain; my stomach
was so sore could hardly move about.
This kept up until was SO miserable
life was not worth living.
"Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to try Grape
Nuts food and quit my regular food.
Although / had but little faith / COM
nlenced to use 1t and great was my
surprise to find that could eat it
without the usual pain and distress In
my stomach. So l kept on using
Grape Nuts, and soon marked i'm
provement was shown, for my stom-
ach was performing its regular work in
normal way, without pain or dis
tress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap
peared from my tongue, the dull heavy
feeling in my head disappeared and my
mind felt light and clear; the languid
tired feeling left, and altogether l felt
as if had been rebuilt. Strength and
weight came back rapidly and l went
back. to my work with renewed ambi-
ti9ii. Today l am a new woman In
mind as well as body and owe it all
to this natural food Grape Nuts"

fiicted With Piles.
Is a strained joint durable? Is local
inflammation durable? OF course, II
properly treated. So are piles.
People often become afflicted with
piles and ask some old Chronic" who
has always persisted in the wrong
treatment. and naturally he discour-
ages them by telling them that their
case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others, and
thus a disease that can in every case
be cured by careful and skillful hand
ling is allowed to sap the energy of
thousands who might free themselves
Of the trouble in a few days.

aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an
astonishingly short time. 1t relieves the

pensive surgical treatment have been
cured by the Pyramid Pile Cure-in a
number of instances persons who had
spent months in hospital under pile
specialist.

to apply even to the most aggravated
swollen and infiamed hemorrhoidal tu-
mors.

born disease you can master 1T, and
