SICK DOCTOR.
Proper Food Put Him Right.

The food experience of a physician in
his own case when worn and weak from
sickness and when needing nourishment
the worst way Is valuable:
"An attack of grip SO severe 1t came
near making an end of me left my stom-
ach in such condition l could not re-
tain any ordinary food. l knew of
course that l must have food nourish-
ment or / could never recover.
Il began to take four teaspoonfuls of
Grape-Nuts and cream three times n
day and for 2 weeks this was almost
my only food; it tasted so delicious
that 1 enjoyed 1t Immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was so nourishing
1 was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"At the present time I am preparing
a paper for medical journals in which
1 mention my own case and speak par
food to sustain life during serious at
tacks In which the stomach is so de-
ranged it cannot digest and assimiIate
other foods
81 am convinced that Grape Nuts
more widely used by physicians will
save many lives that are otherwise lost
from lack of nourishment." Name
given by Postum Co, Battle Creek,

Absolutely the most perfect food in
