The proper way out of the difficult

Last summer I was suddenly TAX
en- with indigestion and severe stom-

without great pains my stomach was
so sore could hardly move about.
This kept up until was SO miserable
life was not worth living.
9Then friend finally. after much
argument, induced me to quit ny
former diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although had but little faith
commenced to use 1t. and great was
my surprise to find that could eat 1t
without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
SO kept on using Grape-Nuts,
and soon marked Improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating dis
appeared from my tongue. the duh,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared
and my mind felt light and clear: the
languid. tired feeling left, and alto
gether felt as IL had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rap
