A GOOD CHANGE
A Change Of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot Of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty OF
every person that is Ill. particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an Illustration: A lady in Mo. has.
with her husband. been brought around
to health again by leaving on coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began u.s.
Ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For number Of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil was
very Ill most Of the time. About four
years ago left on coffee and began
taking Postum. MY stomach and
bowels improved right along. but was
30 reduced In flesh and SO nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
Then I changed my food and Be.
gan using Grape-4Juts in addition to
Postum. I lived on these two iprin.
cipally for about four months. Day
by day I gained in flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-.
tirely disappeared and I feel that /
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape Nuts.
Husband is 73years old and he was
troubled for long time with occa-s
stonal cramps, and SLEPT badly. Finally
l prevailed upon him to leave on coffee5
and take Postum. He had stood out
Ior long time, but after he tried
Postum for few days he found that
he could sleep and that HIS cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.

He kept at my elbow, as expected

enough, to hold me back; but l ig-

Holbrook must, ! argued, have had
time enough to get out of the creek

chief Gillespie was furthering in his
behalf could not imagine.
There was gradual rise toward the
creek and we were obliged to cling to
the bushes in making our ascent. Sud-
denly, as l paused for breath, Giles

affair of yours. On my honor there's
nothing that affects you here"

growing louder, and seon heard men

A Woman's voice now rose in sharp

Gillespie flashed by me down the
bank to the waters edge, where the
struggle ended abruptly. was not far |
