cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven

when about two and a half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption. 1t
began in October; the first l noticed
was little red surface and a constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
of them. l had two doctors treat her,
but she grew worse under their treat
ment. Then I bought the Cuticura
Remedies and only used them two
weeks when she was entirely well.
This was in February. She has never
had another rough place on her skin,
and she is now fourteen years old.

JOY WORK
And the Other Kind.

Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour and
watch the throngs of people on their
way to work? Noting the number who
were forcing themselves along be-
cause it meant their daily bread, and
the others cheerfulIy and eagerly pur-
suing their way because of love of
their work.
1t is a fact that ones food has much
to do with it. AS an example:
If an engine has poor oil, or a boiler
is fired with poor coal, a bad result is
certain, isn't it?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch of
health's temple and you will find
"Grape-Nuts" as a daily food is the
most nourishing and beneficial you can
use.
We have thousands of testimonials,
real genuine little heart throbs, from
people who simply tried Grape-Nuts
out of curiosity-as last resort-with
the result that prompted the testimo-
NAL.
If you have never tried Grape-Nuts
it's worth while to give it a fair impair
tial trial Remember there are mil
lions eating Grape-Nuts every day
they know, and we know if you will
use GrapeNuts every morning your
work is more likely to be joy-work, be-
cause you can keep well, and with the
brain well nourished work is a Joy.
