sary for strength and muscular vigor.

differently.
It is now common thing for the
family physician to order less meat, as
in the following letter from n. Y.
man:
II had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me to eat less meat and greasy
foods generally. I tried several things
to take the place of my usual break
fast of chops, fried potatoes. etc, but
got no relief until l tried Grape-Nuts
food.
