tie warm milk over TWO or three spoon
fuls of Grape Nuts, thus washing the

the dish. Then this milk charged with
Post Sugar is fed to the infants produc-
ing 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 little longer and become mushy,
whereupon little of the food can be
fed in addition to the milk containing
the washed off sugar.
It is by no means manufactured for
baby food, but these facts are stated as
an illustration of perfectly digestibIe
food.
It furnishes the energy and strength

use by physicians in their own families
and among their patients, and can be

We quote from the London Lancet
analysis as follows:
The basis Of nomenclature of this
preparation is evidently an American

An analysis made by the Canadian
Government some time ago shows that
Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times
the digestible elements contained in
ordinary 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.
