WISE WORDS
A Physician on Food.

A physician out in Oregon has views
about food. He says: y,
Il have always believed that the duty
OF the physician does not cease with treat
ing the sick, but that we owe it to hui
mainly to teach them how to protect
their health, especially by hygienic and
detetic laws.
With such a feeling as to my duty, !
take great pleasure in saying to the pub
lie that in my own experience and also
from personal observation have found
no food to equal Grape.N Nuts, and that !
find there is almost no limit to the great
benefit this food will bring when used in
all cases OF sickness and convalescence,
ut is my experience that no physical
condition forbids the use OF Grape.Nuts.
To persons Of health there is nothing so
nourishing and acceptable to the stomach,
especially at Breakfast, to start the ma
chinery Of the human system on the days
work. In cases OF indigestion know that
complete breakfast can be made Of
Grape Nuts and cream, and | think it is
necessary not to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. | also know the
great value Of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other food.
This is written after an experience OF
more than 20 years treating all manner
OF chronic and acute diseases, and the

bert B. Cummins, in an address here
