his childhood.
"'Bill,'" said this we'll meaning man,
"do you mean to tell me that you amt
teched by the story of the Saviour
that died to save your sins?" Where
upon 'Bill' demanded aggressively:
"Do you try to tell me that Jesus
Christ died to save me when he never
seed me and never knowed me?'

disgust, ut wuz uurned sight easier

My appetite gone and what little 1 did
eat distressed me had better left IT alone
The doctor l getting weaker and ad-
vised me to take cod liver oil. but my stomach
would not tolerate it.
Then ! was told to take egg -nog with stimu
lants to strengthen me- but that did not agree
with me. getting discouraged when
lady sent paper in which there was
medicine advertised which she thought might
help me-.
I'm looking through the paper l saw an adv
telling how strengthening was GrapeNuts food
Strength what ! was after. i sent for
a package Of Grape-Nuts.
II was so bad that the ] used with
this food distressed me. So took one teaspoon
full of dry Grape Nuts and ate it, using 10
liquid until was through.
ITO ms surprise l felt no bad effect. The
next time took two teaspOonfuls with the
same result. II was not long before l could eat
three teaspooufus. with the result that ! was
gaining strength and my stomach feeling
much better.
Il knew it was owing to the Grape Nuts be-
cause that all eating. II was not
long then until l could eat with the
