NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal Of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
Of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc
these things are digested in the small
intestines, and five eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess Of work, sd that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and long train Of
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up
