RED It's the Red Blood Corpuscies that Proper Food Makes.

An Ohio woman says Grape Nuts food gave her good red blood and re- stored the roses of youth to a com plexion that had been muddy and bIotchy. She says:
 For 10 years I had stomach trouble, which produced a breaking out on my face. The doctors gave it long Latin name, but their medicines failed to cure It. Along with this I had frequent headaches, nervousness and usually pain in my stomach after meals
 'I got disgusted with the drugs. stopped them and coffee off short, and quit eating everything but fruit and Grare-Nuts, with Postum for my table
 The headaches, stomach trouble. and nervous weakness disappeared almost like magic, which showed that when the cause was removed and good food and drink used nature was ready to help.
 My blood was purified and my com plexion became like a young girls while my weight was increased from 90 to 12o pounds in a few months-good, solid firm flesh, where it used to be soft and f1abby.
 "I recommended Grape Nuts and Postum to one of my friends, who was afflicted as l had been. She followed my advice and in a short time was re- months her weight increased from 100 to 14s pounds.
 Our doctor, observing the effect of Grapc-Nuts and Postum in our cases, declared, the other day, that he would hereafter prescribe these food products for gastritis." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

that the "up-tO-date' farmer-especlally

greater intimacy with the subject than
