| Post Sugar is fed to the infants pro-
ducing the most satisfactory 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 Il little longer and become mushy,
whereupon a little of the food can be
fed in addition to the milk containing
the washed off sugar.
1t is by no means manufactured for
baby food, but these facts are stated
as an illustration of Il perfectly digest
IDLE food.
1t furnishes the energy and strength
for the great athletes 1t is in common
use by physicians in their own families
and among their patients, and can be
seen on the table of every tirst-cass col
lege 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 much more digest
IDLE condition than in the raw cereal.
This is evident from the remarkable
solubility of the preparation, no less
than one-haIf o 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 pleasant taste not unlike
slightly burnt malt. According to our
analysis the following is the compost
ton of 'Grape-Nuts' Moisture, COZ
per cent; mineral matter, 201 per cent:
fat, 1.GO per cent; prOteids, 100 per
cent; soluble carbohydrates, &C., 1910
per cent; and unaltered carbohydrates
(insoluble), 2J.91 per cent. The fea-
lures worthy of note in this analysis
are the excellent proportion Of proteid,
mineral matters, and soluble carbohy-
drates per cent. The mineral matter
was rich in phosphoric acid Grape
Nuts is described as a brain and nerve
food, whatever that may be- Our analy-
Sis, at any rate, shows that it is nutri-
tive of high order, since it contains
the constituents of complete food in
very satisfactory apd rich proportion
and in AZ easily aSSimilable state"
An analysis made by the Canadian
Government some time ago shows that
Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times
the digestible elements contained in or
binary cereals, and foods, and nearly
twice the amount contained in any 9th
er food analysed.
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
upon 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 Ana
Mas.
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 20 get judgment we will right
that wrong quickly.
Our business has always been con-
Quoted On as high "a grade Of human in
teIligence as we are capable of, and we
propose to clear the deck of these pre-
varicators and liars whenever and wher-
ever they can tee found.
Attention is again called to the gen
eral and broad invitation to visitors to
90 through our works, where they will
be shown the most minute process and
device in order that they may under
stand how pure and clean and whole
some GrapeNuts and Postum are.
There is an old saying among blisi-
ness men that there is some chance to
train fool, but there is 10 room for n
liar, for you never can tell where Won
are, and 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 propose to give them
an opportunity to answer to the proper
authorities.
The New York girl wisely said that
if person would lie about one item. il
brands the whole discourse as abso-
lutely unreliable.
Keep your iron ready and brand
these mavericks" whenever you find
them running loose.
