AN attack of grip SO severe it came

stomach in such condition I could not
retain any ordinary food. l knew of
course that | must have food nourish-
ment or I could never recover.
Il began to take four teaspoOnfuls
of Grape Nuts and cream three times
Il day and for weeks this was almost
my only food: it tasted so delicious
that / enjoyed it immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was so nourishing |
was quickly built back to normal health
and strength.
"At the present time I am preparing
a paper for , medical journals in which
! mention my own case and speak, par
ticularly of Grape Nuts great value as
food to sustain life during serious at
lacks in which the stomach is so de-
ranged it cannot digest and assimilate
other foods.
Il am convinced that Grape Nuts
more widely used by physicians will
save many lives that are otherwise lost
from lack of nourishment." Name

workman on the structure, and had
been very efficient in that capacity
Elder Tory. the pastor, who expected
to occupy til" pulpit of the new church,
had charge of raising the funds with
which to pay the bills.
The day of the raising came. and n

men of the crew went onto the frame,

on the roof. The timbcrs didn't ad-
