Why It's a 1omeIy Beast.

Augustus Thomas, the playwright
told in a recent speech of hunting

were after cooons and possums, but the
only trail the dogs struck was one
which made them put their tails be
tween their legs and turn for home.

guides.

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Relief.

Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is certain element IN the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc. which is
grown there by nature for food to brain
and nerve tissue. This is the phos-
plate of potash. of which Grape Nuts
food contains large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
barley, are retained That is why so
many heretofore nervous and run down
people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve
and brain food.
Il can say that Grape.Nuts food has
done much for me as a nerve renew.
