 From early childhood I suffered with such terrible constipation that l had to use laxatives continuously go- ing from one drug to another and suf- fering more or less all the time.
 "A prominent physician whom con- suited told me the muscles of the di- gestive organs were partially par alyzed and could not perform their work without help of some kind, so I have tried at different times about every laxative and cathartic known, but found no help that was at all per manent. had finally become discour- aged and had given my case up as hopeless when I began to use the pre- digested food. Grape-Nuts.
 Although I had not expected this food to help my trouble, to my great surprise Grape-Nuts digested imme- diately from the first and in a few days I was convinced that this was just what my system needed
 "The bowels performed their func- tions regularly and I am now com pletely and permanently cured of this awful trouble.
 Truly the power of scientific food must be unlimited" There's a Reason"
