NO MEDICINE.
Sut Change OF Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-
airy canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are dlgested In the small intes-
tines, and IL we eat too much. as most
of us do the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work. so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and long train
of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest.
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach. belching gas, and bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
