SAFEST FOOD

In Any Kind of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts.
Food to rebuild the strength and
that is predigested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing so valuable as
Grape Nuts for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and is also all
digestible nourishment. A woman who
used it says:
"Some time ago l was very i'll with
typhoid fever, so ill every one thought
I would die. even myself 1t left me
so weak 1 could not properly digest
food of any kind and l also had much
bowel trouble, which left me weak,
helpless wreck.
81 needed nourishment as badly as
any one could, but none of the tonics
helped me until 1 finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that 1 thought
delicious as could be, but it also made
me perfectly we'll and strong again, so
I can do all my homework, sleep we'll,
can eat anything without any trace Of
bowel trouble and for that reason alone
Grape-Nuts food is worth it's weight
in gold" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Greek, Mich.
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequent
ly sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable of digesting the
starches and therefore predigested
Grape Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories, and therefore
any one, no matter how weak the stom-
ach, can handle it and grow strong,
for all the nourishment is still there.
There's a sound reason and ten days
trial proves.

Freedom, Mimi, Oct 17.-(Special)
MIR. r. e. Coward, a well-known

rience is we'll worth repeating, as it

ing few boxes of Dodd's Kidney
