Rash ON FACE FOR 2 YEARS

Sioux Falls, S. D.--"My trouble OF
skin disease started merely as a rash
ON my face and neck, but it grew and
kept getting worse until large scabs
would form, tester and break. This
was just ON the one side Of my face,
but it soon scattered to the other
side / suffered great deal, especial
ly at night, on account of it's itching
and burning. / would scratch 1t and
of course that irritated it very much.
This rash was on my face for about
two years, sometimes breaking out
lots worse and forming larger sores.
1t kept me from sleeping day or night
for couple of months. My face look
ed disgraceful and I was almost
ashamed to be seen by my friends.
"A friend asked me to try Cuticura
Soap and Cuticvra Ointment. / would
battle my face with hot water and a
lot of Cuticura Soap, then would put
on the Cuticura Ointment. In less
than two days time, the soreness and
inflammation had almost entirely dis
appeared, and in four weeks time you
could not see any of the rash. Now
my face is without spot of any kind.
I also use them for my scalp and hair.
They cured ME completely" (Signed)

The favour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. 1t is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, Realthful quality
that never grows tiresonle.
One of the sources OF rheumatism is
from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
Iarly, digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and of carrying
