CHANGE THE VIBRATION
1t Makes for Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, pota-
toes, coffee, and etc, and adopted a
breakfast Of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup of
Postum.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that a meat eater will
reach a place once In a while where
his system seems to become clogged
and the machinery doesn't work
smoothly.
A change Of this kind puts aside food
Of low nutritive value and takes up
food and drink Of the highest value,
already partly digested and capable
Of being quickly changed into good,
rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature Of Grape
Nuts Is the natural phosphate OF pot
ash grown In the grains from which it
is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centers.
A few days s of Grape-Nuts Will
give n q degree Of nervous strength
we'll worth the trial.
Look in pkgs for the little book. "The
Road to Wellyi1le. \ There's d Reason"
