and we do not hesitate to say from ou
long knowledge of the sustaining powe
! OF the food that a man at the end o
sixty days would be of practically til,
same weight as when he started, If he b.

We will suppose that from his work
| he lost pound day and made I'D d
| pound each day from food. If that prem
ise proved to be true the man in sixty
! days time would make sixty pounds OF
tissue to replace what had been lost, and
this would be done on Grape Nuts and
milk with half the number of calories of
butter, upon which no one can sustain
life.
Therefore. we have reason to believe
that our contention is right that con-
centrated food like Grape Nuts. which
is partly digested and ready for easy as
similation by the body, presents more
nourishment that the system will ab-
sorb than many other forms Of food. and
we will further say that in cases of diges-
tive troubles where meat, white bread
end oats cannot be digested that Grape
Nuts and milk contain more nourish-
ment that the system will absorb than
many pounds of these other foods.
