the milk to the bottom of the dish. Then
this milk charged with Post Sugar is ted
to the infants producing the most salts
factory results, for the baby has food
that it can digest quickly and Will so OH
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 tho
milk little longer and become mushy,
whereupon little of the food can be fed
in addition to the milk containing the
washed OF sugar.
1t is by no means manufactured for
baby food, but these facts are stated as
an illustration of Il perfectly diSesuD!e
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-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 'GrapeNuts' is derived
solely from cereals. The preparatory
process undoubtedly converts the food
constituents into much more diSestiDle
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 dbread-crumbs. The
grains are brown and crisp, with pleas
ant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt.
According to our analysis the following
is the composition of 'GrapeNuts:'
Moisture, 602 per cent; mineral matter,
2.01 per cent; fat, 1.60 per cent: proteids,
1900 per cent; soluble carbohydrates,
ETC., 1910 per cent; and unaltered car
bohydrates Gnsoluble), 25.37 per cent.
The features worthy ofnote in this analy-
sis are the excellent proportion Of pro-
ted, mineral matters, and soluble car
bohydates per cent. The mineral matter
was rich in phosphoric acid Grape
Nuts is described as brain and nerve
food, whatever that may be. Our analy-
sis, at any rate, shows that it is nutri-
tive of a high order, since it contains the
constituents of a complete food in very
satisfactory and rich proportion and in
an 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
dinary cereals, and foods. and nearly
twice the amount contained in any other
food analyZed.
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 youhear a cooking school teach
er 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 witnesses, and
II the evidence is clear enough to get a
judgment we will right that wrong
quickly.
Our business has always been conduct
ed on as high a grade of human intelli-
gence as we are capable Of and we pro-
pose to clear the deck of these prevari-
Gators and liars whenever and wherever
they can be found.
Attention is again called to the gen.
eral and broad invitation to visitors TO
go othrough our works, where they will be
shown the most minute process and de-
vice 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
fool, but there is no room for a liar, for
you never can tell where you are, and
we hereby serve notice on all the mem
bers 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 an
swer to the proper authorities.
The New York girl wisely said that
II a person would lie about one item, It
brands the whole discourse as absolutely
unreliable.
