ORIGIN
Of a Famous Human Food.

The story Of great discoveries or in
ventions 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 10 study var
ious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words before
he could carry out his plans he had &c
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
a 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
centres 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. 1t 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 activity OF the brain and
nervous system. making II a pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which re-
news and replaces the daily waste OF
brain and nerves.
It's favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at thg
factory It is served instantly with
cream.
The signature OF the brain worker
spoken Of. c. w. Post. is to be seen
on each genuine package Of Grape
Nuts.
