AT the time my own health was bad
and I was pretty well run down but I
saw at once that the theories behind
Grape-Nuts were sound and that if the
food was all that was claimed, II was
a perfect food.

and I am now much stronger, feel bet

my life.
II know that all of this good is due
to Grape-Nuts and l am firmly con-
vinced that the claims made for the
food are true.
"I have recommended, and still rec
ommend. Grape-Nuts to a great many
of my patients with splendid results.
and in some cases the Improvement of
patients on this fine food has been
wonderful.
