with bilious sick headache, caused by
indigestion, n nothing seemed to re-

could not sleep and the doctor said 1 was
on the verge of nervous prostration. 1
saw an adv. concerning Grape-Nuts and
bought a package for trial.
What Grape-Nuts has done for me is
certainly marvellous. 1 can now sleep like
a child, am entirely free from the old
trouble and have not had a headache in
