birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.

beginning, and In an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that I
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In q
months my weight increased from 95
to us pounds. my nerves had steadied
down and I felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly, and still more so
when they heard that Grape-Nuts
alone had brought the change.
My 4-year-old boy had eczema very
bad last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peeyish. l put him on diet of Grape
Nuts, which he relished at once. He
