WISE WORDS.
A Physician or Food.

A physician. OF Portland, Oregon
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick. but that We
oweIt to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health. especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such feeling as to my
duty ! take great pleasure In saying
To the public that in my own expert
ence and also from personal observa
tion | have found no food TO equa!
Grape-Nuts, and that ! find there u
almost no limit to The great benefit
this food will bring when used In all
cases of sickness and convalescence
1T is my experience that no physl
cal condition forbids the use OF Grape
nuts. To persons In health there ID
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
