CHERRY OLD COUPLE Find Grape-Nuts a Blessing.

After one is seventy, the question of nourishment is very delicate one.
 When old age comes on we do not need so much food as during the more active years. but the digestive organs are very sensitive and care must be exercised in its selection.
 No food has the strength-giving proper ties and Is so easy to digest by old and young as Grape-Nuts.
 For years l have been troubled with dyspepsia-for one period eight years"- writes our aged minister
 "I finally began using Grape-Nuts and have had no trouble with my stomach since, feel perfectly well and strong, and, though l am Fl years old feel like d boy
 Then, too, my wife has been troubled for years with biliousness and sick head aches. Since she began to use Grape Nuts, about eight weeks ago, she has no further trouble.
 "She is quite well and strong, much more cheery and happy then in other years. Grape-Nuts and Postum occupy an important place on our breakfast table and is our daily food. It would be hard for me to tell what we owe to Grape- Nuts"
