WISE WORDS A phve;r;au Ou Ennd

A physician of Portland, Oregon, has views about food. He says:
 'tI have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease with treating the sick, but that we owe it to humanity to teach them how to protect their health especially by hygienic and dietetic laws.
 "With such 6 feeling as to my duty take great pleasure in saying to the pub lie that in my own experience and also from personal observation l have found no food to equal Grape-Nu and that find there is almost no limit to the great benefit this food will bring when used in all cases of sickness and convalescence.
 ''It Is my experience that no physical condition forbids the use of Grape Nuts. To persons in health there is nothing so nOurishlng and acceptable to the stomach especially at breakfast to start the ma. ehinery of the human system on the days work. In cases of indigestion know that a complete breakfast can be made of Grape. Nuts and cream and l think 1t Is necessary not to overload the stomach at the morning meal. I also know the great valve of Grape Nuts when the stomach Is too weak to digest other food.
 "This Is written after an experience of more than 20 years treating all manner of chronic and acute diseases, and the letter Is written voluntarily on my part without any request for it." Name given by PoGtum Co, Battle Creek Mich.
