A SOLDIER U
What He Had Looked for IS Years,

Many interesting stories are still
told by the heroes of the late War Of
the Rebellion. An old soldier Of
Morris, Ill.,. related his experience a
short time ago:
When I enlisted In the war" said
he, II was strong and healthy and
weighed 1870 pounds, and when I was
discharged four years later I only
weighed 1870 pounds, which was the
result OF a very bad stomach trouble,
contracted while In the army.
Il was treated by medical men for
4 long time, paying out hundreds Of
dollars but receiving no permanent
benefit. Patent medicines were also
highly recommended for dyspepsia
and stomach troubles, and / tried a
number Of them, but got no relief,
and In the end was actually worse.
I became mentally and physically a
wreck. had no energy TO do business
and ! simply got enough sustenance
from my food to keep soul and body
together, and was In pain and misery
constantly.
"While in this condition I met a
friend who asked me II ! had used
Grape-Nuts. ] had not. but had used
other prepared food and got no re-
lief and so mad no confidence In any
Of them. He continued 10 urge me
TO uso Grape-Nuts, saying his wife
had become 30 much improved in
health by using TINS particular food.
80, partly to please him. / bought
a package and made my supper that
night on Grape-Nuts. fully expect
ing to suffer all night as the result.
To my surprise and great Joy II
agreed with me perfectly. I had a
good appetite from that time on.
and Grape-Euts was my only food
for the first four months: then l be-
gan to partake OF other food spar
ingly. I gained very rapidly mem
tally and physically, with energy
and force restored. and l also gained
in flesh, my weight increasing 85
pounds In about six months. My
stomach, from which ! had suffered
untold misery for 35 years, became
perfectly healthy, 20 that ! could Eat
all kinds Of food in connection with
.Grape-Nuts.
To-day l am 80 years old and
enjoy good health. and I believe
GraDB-Euta 70 be the host OF food
