NIGHT NURSE
Kept in Perfect Trim by Right FOO'


 Nursing the sick Is often very bur densome to the nurse.
 Night nursing is liable to be even more exhausting from the fact that the demands of the system for sleep are more urgent during the night hours,
 A Va. lady, called on to act as night nurse in the family. found the greatest support from the use of Grape-Nuts food She says;
 Our acquaintance with Gfape-Nuts began eight years ago. We bought the fret package sold In this place. and although we began as skepttcs we be- came converts to it's striking food value
 T used Grape Nuts first to sustain me when doing night nursing for member of the family. ate a tea spoonful at e time and by slowly oh ew- ing 1t was able to keep awake and felt no fatigue.
 Soon grew to like Grape-Nuts very much and after our patient recovered I was surprised to find that I was not at all worn out" on account of broken rest. My nerves were strong and steady and my digestion fine. This was the more surprising because I had always suffered with weak nerves and Indigestion. My experience was so sat isfactory that other members of the family took up Grape-Nuts with like resultB." There's a Reason"
