SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is serious question sometimes to know
just what 10 eat when a PERSONS stomach is out

GrapeNuts food can be taken at any time
with the certainty that it will digest Actual
experience Of people is valuable to any one in
TeFested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: 81 had suf
feTed with indigestion for about four years ever
since an attack of typhoid fever, and at times
could eat nothing but the very lightest food and
then suffer such agony with my stomach / would
wish never had 10 eat anything. I was urged
10 try Grape-Nuts, and since using it do not
have TO starve myself any more but can eat
u at any time and feel nourished and satisfied
Dyspepsia is a thing of the past and am now
strong and well.
My husband also had an experience with
Grape-Nuts. He was very weak and sickly in
the spring. Could not attend to his work. He
was put under the doctors care but medicine
did not seem TO do him any good until he began
10 leave of ordinary food and use Grape Nuts
II was positively surprising TO see the change In
him. He grew better right Off and naturally he
has had none but words OF praise for Crane
Nuts.
Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal without
Grape-Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that
his teacher and other scholars comment on If
j am satisfied that it is because of the great
nourishing elements in Grape-Nuts" There's
