Use 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.

that our contention is right that con.
ccentrated food like Grape-N Nuts, which
is partly digested and ready for easy as
sanitation by the body, presents more
nourishment that the system will alb
serb than many other forms Of food. and
we will further say that in cases of diges
tive troubles where meat. white brca q
rrd oats cannot be digested. that Grape
Nuts ana milk contain more nourish-
many pounds of these other foods.
