severe than any others. But when q
man is unable to eat v a light
breakfast, for years, without severe

food which cleared away the troubles.
Il am glad of the opportunity to
tell of the good Grape-Nuts has done
for me-" writes a N. H. man. For
many years I was unable to eat even
a light breakfast without great suffer
ing.
after eating l would suddenly be
seized with an attack of collie and
vomiting. This would be followed by
headache and misery that would some
times last a week or more, leaving me
so weak ] could hardly sit up or walk.
"Since I began to eat Grape-Nuts l
have been free from the old troubles.
l usually eat Grape-Nuts n or more
times a day, taking it at the beginning
Of the meal. Now I can eat almost
anything I want without trouble.
when I began to use Grape-Nuts I
was way under my usual weight, now l

weighed in my life, and l am glad to
speak of the food that has worked the
