Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise Chill
drenA
Children's taste is ofttimes more ac-
curate, in selecting the right kind OF
food to fit the body, than that of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak d.
gestion. We could never persuade him
to take more than one taste of any kind
of cereal food. He was a weak little
chap and we were puzzled to know
what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well, you never saw a child eat with
such a relish, and It did me good to see
him. From that day on it seemed as
though we could almost see him grow.
He would eat Grape-Nuts for break
fast and supper, and 1 think he would
have liked the food for dinner.
''The difference in his appearance is
something wonderful
My husband mad never fancied cereal
foods of any kind, but he became very
fond of Grape-Nuts and has been much
improved in health since using it,
I'VE are now a healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. I was
satisfied that the disease was caused by
lack of proper nourishment They
showed il. So 1 urged her to use Grape
Nuts as an experiment and the result
was almost magical.
They continued the food and today
