experience:
About three years ago ~ the result
Of doing two mems work, attending .
large practice and looking after the
details Of another business. my health
broke down completely. and was
little better than q physical wreck.
II suffered from Indigestion and con-
stipation. loss Of weight and appetite.
bloating and pain after meals. loss Of
memory and lack Of nerve force for
continued mental application.
Il became irritable. easily angered
and despondent without cause. The
hearts action became irregular and
weak. with frequent attacks Of palpi-
tation during the hrst hour or two
after retiring.
Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
suit. got more satisfaction from It
than from anything had eaten for
months. and on further investigation
and use. adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals. served
usually with cream and . sprinkle Of
salt or sugar.
"My improvement was rapid and
permanent. In weight ~ we'll AZ in
