NOT DRUGS
Food Did It.

After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case of
chronic and apparently incurable con-
stipation yielded to the scientific food
Grape-Nuts, in few days.
From early childhood I suffered
with such terrible constipation that I
had to use laXatives continuously 60
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 d.
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. I had finally become discour-
aged and had given my case up as
hopeless when 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 was convinced that this was
Just what my system needed.
"The bowels performed their func-
tions regularly and am now COM
pletely and permanently cured Of this
awful trouble.

must be unlimited" There's
