ORIGIN
Of a Famous Human Food.

The story of great discoveries or in
ventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct was led to study vari-
Gus foods and their effects upon the hu-
man system. In other words before he
could carry out his plans he had to find
Il food that would carry him along and
renew his physical and mental strength.
He knew that a food that was a brain
and nerve builder. Crather than a mere
fat maker). was universally needed.
He knew that meat with the average
man does not accomplish the desired
results. He knew that the soft gray
substance in brain and nerve centres is
made from Albumen and Phosphate of
Potash obtained from food. Then he
started to solve the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape Nuts. the now famous
food Grape Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements in
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit of eating Grape Nuts daily is cas-
iIy seen in a marked sturdiness and ac-
, tivity of the brain and nervous system.
making it IA pleasure for one to carry
, on the daily duties without fatigue or
exhaustion. The food is in no sen!e a
stimuIant but is simply food which re-
news and replaces the daily waste OF
, brain and nerves.
Its favor is charming and being fully
and Thoroughly cooked at the factory it
is served instantly with cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spol<en of c. w. Post, is to be seen on
each genuine package of Grape Nuts.
Look in each package for copy of
the famous little book, THE Road to
, Wellyille"
