NO MEDICINE
But a Change of Food Gave Relic.

. IT'S -
Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food Is
Required.
There Is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley. etc, which is
grown there by naturei for food to
brain and nerve tissue. This is the
phosphate OF potash, of which Grape
Nuts food contains large proportion.
In making this food all the food
elements 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
II can say that Grape-Nuts food
Ihas done much Cor me as nerve re-
