CHANGE IN FOOD
Work. Wonders in Health.

It is worth knowing that change
in food can cure dyspepsia II deem
1t my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
II had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor recon-
mended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. followed instruc-
tions and now am entirely well.
"The whole family like Grape-Nuts,
We use four packages week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial
as you see fit."
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food. is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using,
it also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
II that part Of the human body Is in
perfect working order, there can be NO
dyspepsia. for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by, small children as we'll as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.
