PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioners Of Any State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity Of Grape-Nuts.


Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly Of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into form Of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that 1t is "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts Of
Wheat and Barley (Which we use) con-
tain Natures brain and nervebuilding
ingredients. viz: Phosphate Of Pot
ash, and the way we prepare the food
makes It easy to digest and assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey In his book on
"The Biochemic System Of Medicine"
says:
when the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range Of
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
I THE gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates nerve
fluid, or the gray matter Of the brain.
"Of course, there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter In
nerve-fuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by its own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore.
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-fluid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos-
phate Of potassium Is the only true
remedy, because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
"The ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be overestimated.
Phosphate of Potash, is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man. and
the blessings 1t has already conferred
on the race are many. But what
shall the harvest be- when physicians
everywhere fully understand the part
this wonderful salt plays in the
processes Of life? It will do as much
as can be done through physiology to
| make heaven on earth.
Let the overworked business man
take 1t and go home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstruns
from attending to sick children or en-
tertaining company, take 1t and note
how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No 'provings' are required
here. We find this potassium salt
largely predominates in nerve-fuid.
and that a deficiency produces well.
defined symptoms. The beginning and
end of the matter is to supply the
lacking principle, and in molecular
form, exactly as nature furnishes It in
vegetables, fruits and grain. To sup
ply deficiencies-this is the only law
of cure"
Please observe that Phosphate OF
Potash Is not properly Of the drug
shop variety but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored In
the grains ready for use by mankind
Those who have been helped to better
health by the use Of Grape-Nuts are
legion.
