FROM THE EDIT OR
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking of food, there is probably no pro-
fessional man subjected to a greater more
wearing mental strain than the responsible
editor of a modern newspaper.
TO keep his mental faculties constantly in
good working order, the editor must. keep his
physical powers UP to the highest rate on ef-
.ficency Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food and a
disordered stomach. 1t therefore Follows that
he should have right food, which can be
readily assimilated. and which furnishes true
brain nourishment
my personal experience in the of
Grape-Nuts and Postum, writes Philadel-
phia editor, $50 exactly agrees with your adj
vertised claim as to their merits that any
further exposition in that direction would
seem to be superfluous. They have bene-
fitted me so much however, during the five
years that 1 have used them, that do not
feel justified in Withholding my testimony.
General high living with all that the ex-
preston implies as to generous table,
brought about indigestion in my case, with
restlessness at night. and lassitude In the
morning accompanied by various pains and
distressing sensations during working hours.
THE doctor diagnosed the condition as Ca
tarrh Of the stomach and prescribed various
medicines, which did me no good. / finally
threw physics 10 the dogs, gave up tea and
coffee and heavy meat dishes, and adopted
Grape-Nuts and Postum as the chief articles
Of my diet.
- Z. -+4. 49,
II can conscientously say, and~1. wish to-
say il with all the emphasis possible to the
English language, that they have benefited
me as medicines never did, and more Tran
any other food that ever came on my table,
my experience is that the Grape-Nuts fool
has steadied and strengthened both brain and
nerves to a most positive degree. How 1t
does it, cannot say, but know that after
breakfasting on Grape-Nuts food one actually
forgets he has a stomach, let alone 'stora-
ach trouble 1t is in, my opinion, the most
beneficial as well as the most economical
good on the market, and has absolutely no
rival" Name given by Postum Co, Battle
