this milk charged with Post Sugar is fed
TO the infants, producing the most salts
factory results, for the baby has food
that it can digest quickly and will go off
to sleep, well fed and contented.
When baby gets two or three months
old it Is the custom of some mothers to
allow the Grape-Nuts to soak in the
milk a little longer and become mushy,
whereupon a little Of the food can be fed
IN addition to the milk containing the
washed off sugar.
It Is by. no means manufactured for a
oaOy 1000, but these facts are stated as
food.
1t furnishes the energy and strength
for the great athletes. Ii is in common
use by physicians in their own families
and among their patients, and can be
seen on the table of every first-class
college in the land.
We quote from the London Lancet
analysis as follows
The basis of nomenclature OF this
preparation is evidently an American
pleasantly, since Grape-Nuts' is derived
solely from cereals. The preparatory
process undoubtedly converts the food
constituents into a much more dipestible
condition than in the raw cereal. This
Is evident from the remarkable solubil-
ity Of the PREPARATION. no less than one
half Of it being soluble in cold water.
The soluble part contains chiefly dextrin
and no starch. In appearance Grape
Nuts resembles fried bread-crumbs. The
grains are brown and crisp. with a pleas
ant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt.
According to our analysis the following
is the composition of 'Grape-Nuts' Moist
ure, 6.o2 per cent. mineral matter, 2.Ol per
cent; fat, 1:eo per cent; proteids, 1900
per cent. soluble carbohydrates &c Al, 40
per cent. and ~unaltered carbohydrates
Gnsoluble), %. 81 per cent. The features
worthy of note in this analysis are the
excellent proportion of proteid. mineral
matters and soluble carbohydrates ner
cent. The mineral matter was rich in
phosphoric acid. 'Grape-Nuts' is de-
scribed as a brain and nerve food, what
ever that may be. Our analysis, at anv
rate, shows that it is a nutritive of a high
order, since it contains the constituents Of
a complete food in very satisfactory and
rich proportion and in an easily assimi-
liable state"
An analysis made by the Canadian
Government some time ago shows that
Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times IL ,
digestible elements contained in ordinar
cereals and foods, and nearly twice the
amount contained in any other food an
alyzed.
The analysis is familiar to practically
every successful physician in America
and London.
We print this statement in order that
the public may know the exact facts up
on which we stake our honor and will
back it with any amount of money that
any person or corporation will put up.
We propose to follow some of these
choice specimens of the tribe of Ananias.
When you hear a cooking school
teacher or any other person assert that
either Postum or Grape-Nuts are made
of any other ingredients than those
printed on the packages, and as we say
they are made, send us the name and
address, also name of two or three wit
nesses, and if the evidence is clear
enough to get a judgment we will right
that wrong quickly.
Our business has always been con-
Quoted on as high a grade of human
intelligence as we are capable of, and
we propose to clear the deck of these
prevaricstors and liars whenever and
wherever they a be found.
Attention is again called to the general
and broad invitation to visitors to go
through u works, where they will be
shown the most minute process and
device in order that they may understand
how pure and clean and wholesome
Grape-Nuts and Postum are.
There is an old saying among business
men that there is some chance to train a
fool, but there is no room for a liar, fbr
you never can tell where you are, aid
we hereby serve notice on all the members
Of this ancient tribe Of Ananias that
they may follow their calling in other
lines, but when they put forth their lies
about Grape-Nuts and Postum, we pro-
pose to give them an opportunity to
answer to the proper authorities.
The New York girl wisely said that
If a person would lie about one item, il
brands the whole discourse as absolutely
unreliable.
Keep your iron ready and brand these
mavericks" whenever you find them
running loose.
