ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. It contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making 1t a
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense q
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory It is served instantly with
cream.
The signature OF the brain worker
spoken of, G. w. Post. is to be seen on
each genuine package Of Grape-Nuts.

something stronger than the voice of

voice of the heart: 1t was the voice
