CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead Of
Drugs.

It takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, instead
Of resorting to the usual list Of med
icines.
There are some truly scientific ply
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated regard

Taking Care of Yourself.

There never was a time when peo-
pie paid as much attention to their
health and strength as they do now.
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result of properly balanced ra-
tions has worked wonders with stock
and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man
kind.
1t has been found that Quaker
Scotch Oats eaten often and regularly
taking the place of heavy, greasy
foods will work wonders in the health
and strength of family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Scotch Oats thrive physically
and are always capable of the best
work at school. For athletes, laborers,
it. is the best food, 10
