Considerable more than one-half of Phos-
phate of Potash
Analysis Of Grape-Nuts 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
phate phosphate OF Potash). This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition Of oxygen
creates nerve fiuid or the gray matter Of the
brain. OF course there is a 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
its 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
nishes 1t in vegetables, fruits and grain To
supply dehciencies-this ia the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion Is that II 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 II you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brainbuiding.
