THE VERY TIME

The need of delicate yet nutritious
food is never felt SO keenly as when q
convalescent gets a set back on ac-
count Of weak stomach. Then is when
Grape-Nuts shows its power tor it is q

About a year ago." writes a Kansas
woman, my little s~ix-year-old niece
left the invigorating and buoyant air
Of Kansas, where all her life she had
enjoyed fairly good health, to live in
Ohio. She naturally had a change Of
diet and of course a change Of water,
and somehow she contracted typhoid
fever.
After a long siege her case seemed
hopeless, doctors gave her up, and shs
was nothing but skin and bones,
couldn't eat anything and for weeks
did not know even her father or moth.
er. Her parents. in trying to get some
thing delicate and nourishing that she
could eat, finally hit upon Grape-Nuts
food and it turned out to be just the
thing.
"She seemed to relish 1t, was soon
conscious OF her surroundings and be-
gan to gain strength SO rapidly that
in q short time she was 90 well, play
full and robust as II she had never
been Ill.
I'VE Ill feel that Grape-Nuts was
the predomina.ing factor In saving
the sweet little girls life"
