pressure from my professional duties,
was compelled for time to give up
my work altogether
"Then put myself on a diet of
Grape-Nuts and cream alone, with an
occasional cup of Postum as runner
up, and sometimes little dry toast. I
assure you that In less than week l
felt like new man; had gained six
pounds in weight, could sleep well
and think well.
THE good work went on, and was
soon ready to return to business, and
have been hard at 1t, and enjoying II

Nuts. You will find me always ready
