A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders

The wrong food and drink causes a

change the food is the first duty of
every person that is ill, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.

and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began u.s.

says:

until now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and | feel that |
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 70 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa-
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for long time, but after he tried

he could sleep and that his CRAMPS
