ON FOOD
The Right Foundation of Health.

Proper food is the foundation OF
health. People can eat improper food
for a time until there Is sudden col.
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with.
out great pain, my stomach was so
sore l could hardly move about. This
kept up until / was so miserable life
W. not worth living.
"Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although l had but little faith I
commenced to use it, and great was
my surprise to find that / could eat
1t without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
$50 / kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon a marked Improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform.
ing it's regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon The yellow coating disap.
peared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared,
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and alto
gether felt as If | had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid.
ly and went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day am a new woman in mind
as well as body, and | owe 1t all to
this natural food, Grape.Nuts."
