FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking of food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to q
greater, more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor Of .
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order, the
editor must keep his physical powers
UP to the highest rate Of efficiency.
Nothing will SO quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and a disordered stomach. It there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nourishment.
my personal experience in the use
of Grape-Nuts and Postum" writes
a Philadelphia editor, $50 exactly
agrees with your advertised claim as
to their merits that any further ex-
position in that direction would seem
to be superf1uous. They have bene-
fitted me so much. however. during
the five years that have used them
that 1 do not feel justified in with
holding my testimony.
General high living with all
that the expression implies as to q
generous table, brought about indi-
gestion, in my case, with restless
ness at night and lassitude in the
morning, accompanied by various
pains and distressing sensations
during working hours.
1.-The doctor diagnosed the condi-
ton as 'catarrh of the stomach and
prescribed various medicines, which
did me no good. I finally threw
physics to the dogs gave up tea
and coffee and heavy meat dishes,
and adopted Grape-Nuts and Postum
as the chief articles Of my diet.
IT can conscientiously say. and I
wish to say 1t with all the emphasis
possible to the English language,
that they have benefited me as med
icines never did, and more than any
other food that ever came on my
table.
my experience is that the Grape
Nuts food has steadied and strength
ened both brain and nerves to a most
positive degree. How 1t does 1t
cannot say, but 1 know that after
breakfasting on Grape-Nuts food one
actually forgets he has a stomach.
let alone stomach trouble 1t Is. in
my opinion, the most beneficial an
well as the most economical food on
the market, and has absolutely no
rival" Name given by Postum Co.
