Is it possible to nourish, strengthen and
Rebuild the Brain by Food:
Every man who thinks uses up part OF
the brain each day. Why doesn't it all
disappear and leave an empty skull in say
month of brain work Because the man
rebuilds each day.
If he builds little less than he destroys,
brain tag and nervous prostration result
sure. II he builds back little more each
day, the brain grows stronger and more
capable That also is sure. Where does
man get the material to rebuild his brain
Is it from air, sky or the ice of the Arctic
sea! When you come 70 think about it,
the rebuilding material must be in the
food and drink.

Grape-Nuts contain that element as

SO with Grape-Nuts The Phosphate
OF Potash is more than one-half of all the
mineral salts. but the total volume OF
those elements is exceedingly small az
compared with the greater bulk of other
food elements contained in Grape-Nuts.
We should also remember that this
small ingredient should not be put into
