dark eyes.

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
owe It to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially BY
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such q feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to the
public that In my own experience and
also from personal observation ! have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there q almost no limit
to the great benefits this food win
bring when used in all cases Of sick
ness and convalescence.
