THINK HARD. It Pays to Think About Food.

The unthiukable life some people lead often causes trouble and sickness, ii- frustrated in the experience of this lady.
 About four years ago I suffered dreadfully from indigestion. always having eaten whatever I liked, not thinking of the digestible qualities. This indigestion caused paipitation of the heart so badly I could scarcely walk up a flight of stairs without stop ping to regain breath and strength.
 'T became alarmed and tried dieting. wore my clothes very loose, and used other remedies, but found no relief.
 Hearing of the virtues of Grape Nuts and Postum, commenced using them in place of my usual breakfast of coffee, cakes or hot biscuit, and in one weeks time I was relieved Of sour stomach and other ills attending in digestion. In a months time my heart was performing its functions naturally and could climb stairs and hills and walk fong distances.
 T gained ten pounds in this short time, and my skin became clear and I completely regained my health and strength. I continue to use Grape Nuts and Postum for feel that I owe my good health entirely to their use.
