CHANGE THE VIBRATION


A man tried leaving off meat. pota-
toes, coffee, and etc. and adopted Il
breakfast of fruit Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup Of
Postum.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that meat eater will
reach a place once in while where his
system seems to become clogged and
the machinery doesn't work smoothly.
A change OF this kind puts aside
food of low nutritive value and takes
up food and drink of the highest val
ue. already partly digested and capa-
BILE of being quickly changed into good
rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains from which it
is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centres.
A few days use of Grape Nuts will
