ALMOST A SHADOW.
Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.

There's a wonderful difference be.
tween a food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
It makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest it. 1t is
not really food to the system until
it is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman
says:
Il had been sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit Of
food such as I then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating.
81 lost flesh until I was almost a
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
First I dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape-Nuts
although I had little faith it would do
me any good.
"But continued to use the food and
have gained twenty pounds in weight
and feel like another person in every
way. I feel as if life had truly begun
anew for me.
81 can eat anything I like now in
moderation, suffer no ill effects, be on
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring I have been able to do it myself
all alone.
my breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and piece of toast,
but generally only Grape-Nuts and
Postum. And I can work until noon
and not feel as tired as one hours
work would have made me year ago."
