which may be irreparablc. An Arizona
man says:
For years could not safely eat any
breakfast. / tried various kinds of
breakfast food, but they were all soft,
Btarchy messes which gave me dis
tressing headaches. drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constipating.
"a friend persuaded me to quit the
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts
instead. l shall never regret taking
his advice. I began using them three
months ago.
