Likewise Grape Nuts food does not
cure anything. but 1t does assist nature
Tremendously in rebuilding. provided
the undigestible food that has been
used Is discontinued and Grape-Nuts

We did not esteem the small amount
of salt and yeast as Of value enough to

have no recollection of being asked to.
We believed that our statement that
Grape-Nuts will supply elements to
nourish the brain and nerve centers Is
true and bring authorities to support
the fact.
Some state chemists believed this a
gross exaggeration and inasmuch as

fed for sixty days on this food would
