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 of to sleep we'll 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 81 little Of the food can be
fed in addition to the milk containing
the washed off sugar.
1t is by no means manufactured for
a baby food, but these facts are stated
as an illustration of perfectly digest
iblc 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 bel
seen Oh the table Of every tirst-class coll
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 a much more digest
ible condition than in the raw cereal.
This is evident from the remarkable
solubility of the preparation, no less!
than one-half Of it being soluble in cold
water. The soluble part contains chiefly
deNtrin and no starch. In appearance
Grape-Nuts' resembles fried bread
crumbs. The grains are brown and
crisp with a pleasant taste not unlike
slightly burnt malt. According to our
analysis the following is the compost,
ton Of Grape Nuts; Moisture, 6O2i
per cent; mineral matter, POI per cent ;;
fat, 1.6O per cent; proteids 1900 per
cent; soluble carbohydrates. &c., 1910
per cent; and unultered carbohydrates
(insoluble), 25.97 per cent. The fea-,
lures worthy OF note in this analysis,
are the excellent proportion of proteid,
mineral matters, and soluble curbohy-
drates per cent. The mineral matter.

the constituents Of 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
binary cereals and foods. and nearly
! twice the amount contained in any 9TH
err food analysed.
The analysis is familiar to practically
every successful physician in America
| and London.
