t'The Road to Melville" Pointed the
 Way.

Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the vis- itors have all sorts of complaints. but it is a subject of remark that the great majority of them have some trouble with stomach and bowels. This may be partly attributed to the heavy med icines.
 Naturally. under the conditions, the question of food is very prominent.
 A young man states that he lad suf- fered for nine years frcm stomach and bowel trouble, had two operations which did not cure, and was at last threatened with appendicitis.
 He went to Hot Springs for rheum- atism, and his stomach trouble got worse. One day at breakfast the wait CT, knowing his condition, suggested he try Grape-Nuts and cream. which he did, and found the food agreed with him perfectly
 After the second day he began to sleep peacefully at night, different than he had for years. The perfect diges- tion of the food auieted his nervous system and made sleep possible.
 He says: 'The next morning I was astonished to find my condition of con- stipation had disappeared. I could not believe 1t true after suffering for so many years; then 1 took more inter- est in the food, re2d the little book The Road to WelIyille' and started following the simple directions.
 q have net with such results that in the last five weeks 1 have gained eight pounds in spite of hot baths which take away the flesh from any, one.
 "A friend of mine has been entirely cured of bad case of indigestion and stomach trouble by using Grape Nuts Food and cream alone for breakfast.
 There is one thing in particular I have noticed a great change in my mental condition. Formerly I could hardly remember anything, and now the mind seems unusually acute and retentive I can memorize practically anything I desire" Name given by .Pcstum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
