Analysis of GrapeNuts shows: Potassium

phate of Potash) is considerable more than
one-half of all the mineral salts in the food
DR.. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements of the body, says: THE
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cellsalt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate of Potash). This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition of oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the
brain. OF course, there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid
but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract by
It's own law of affinity all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life"
Further on he says: "The beginning and end
OF the matter is to supply the lacking principle.
and in molecular form, exactly as nature fur.
nshes 1t in vegetables fruits and grain To
supply deficiencies-this is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that If Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element In
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain fag because its daily loss is
not supplied
On the contrary, If you eat food known TO
be rich in this element, you place before the
