To Bring the Babies Around
When little human machine Cor

important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being SO weak, he was frequently
thrown into convu1sions,'' says a Col
orado mother.
81 decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
when I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I
had never used the food, we got some
and for few days gave him just the
Juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, 1 raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph 1 send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
