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.
those things are digested in the small
intestines, and If we eat too much. as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind OF food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta.

indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up q

and, after some words with his mother,
he kicked and beat his brother, Fred
erick, IL years old, making him bleed
at the mouth and nose.
The affidavit further stated chat two.

when the father seized a beer bottle
during the course of the meal, saying
TO Mrs. Sedo: II cannot look al you
any more; get away from the table or
| will smash you in the head with The
