GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain ..
 and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes 1t hard to keep awake and do things in day time, To take ''tonics and stimufants" under such circumstances is like setting the house on fire to see if you can put it out.
 The right kind of food promotes re- freshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day.
 A lady changed from her old way of eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says:
 "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop off pota- toes then meat, and so on but in a few days that craving, gnawing feeling would start up, and would vomit ev- erything I ate and drank.
 ''When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloatins feeling which was so distressing dis appeared entirely.
 My mother was very much bother ed with diarrhea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was 80 weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she Is well, and says she don't think she could live without it.
 Tt is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after supper of Grape Nuts as in the old days when l could rot realize what they meant by a ''bad stomach" There is no medicine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a gcod nights sleep, such as you can en- joy after eating Grape-Nuts''
