SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test Of Food,

A doctor in Kansas experimental

gives the particulars. He says:
II naturally watch the effect of dif.
ferent foods on patients. My own lit.
tie son. a lad of four. had been Ill
with pneumonia and during his conva.
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
Il knew something OF Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of its nourishing auc
nerve-building powers, so started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked It.
His mother gave 1t to him steadily
and he began to improve ut once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
AN old patient Of mine, 73 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before / was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth.
Ing, and was in serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail.
Il Immediately put him on Grape.
Nuts with good, rich milk and Just a
little pinch OF sugar. He exclaimed
when l came next day why doctor
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel SO much stronger
II am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts but he had to
stick to 1t for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out q little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely we'll in spite OF his almost
hopeless condition. He gained 20
pounds In two months which at his
age is remarkable.
