FRIENDLY TIP.
Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years of indigestion
and it's attendant evil influence on the
mind, it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen.
orally.
IN. Y. woman writes an interesting
letter. She says:
Three years ago suffered from an
attack Of peritonitis which left me in
a most miserable condition. For over
two years suffered from nervousness,
weak heart, shortness Of breath, could
not sleep, etc.
my appetite was ravenous but I
felt starved all the time. I had plenty
of food but it did not nourish me be-
cause Of intestinal indigestion. Medi-
cal treatment did not seem to help. I
got discouraged, stopped medicine and
did not care much whether lived or
died. .,...
Zone day friend asked me why I
didn't try Grape-Nuts food, stop drink
! ing coffee and use Postum. I had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friend I began to use both and soon
became very fond of them
1T wasn't long before I got some
strength, felt a decided change in my
system, hope sprang up in my heart
and slowly but surely got better.

craving for food ceased and I have
