WISE WORDS
A Physician on Food.

A western physician has views about
food. He says:
Il have always believed that the duty
OF the physician does not cease with
treating the sick. bur that we owe it to
humanity to teach them how TO protect
their health especially by hygienic and
dietetic laws.
With such a feeling as to my duty
take great pleasure in saying. that
in my own experience and also from
personal observation, 7 have found no
food TO equal Grape-Nuts and that I
find there is almost no limit to the
Sreat benefit this food will bring when
used in all cases Of sickness and con-
Falescence.
1T is my experience that no physical
condition torbids the use Of Grape-Nuts.
To persons in health there is nothing
so nourishing and acceptable TO the
the machinery Of the human system on
the days work.
In cases Of Indigestion know that
complete breakfast can be made OF
Grape-Nuts and cream and I think it
IS necessary not 10 overload the stom-
ach at the morning meal I also know
the great value OF Grape-Nuts when
the stomach is too weak to digest other
food.
This is written after an experience
of more than 20 years treating all man
ner OF chronic and acute diseases. and
the letter is voluntary on my part with
out any request for it,"
