upon his return to his little mountain

That was what he said:

A Lot Of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food.
A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right

suffered from weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and
after the operation the doctor, know
ing that his intestinal digestion was
very week. put him on GrapeNuts

He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
He has grown to be strong, muscu-
lar, and sleeps soundly, weighs G2
pounds. and his whole system is in
fine condition of health" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
1t is plain that II he had been put
on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in
his life, and kept from the use of
foods that he could not digest, he new

growth of all kinds of microbes, set

the active cause OF appendicitis, and
this is more marked with people who
do not properly digest white bread.
