breakfast as well as any cook on
EARTH said my husband one morning
when the cook was ill and he had vol
unteered to help get breakfast. He
appeared with his dish and l discov-
cred it was Grape-Nuts which, Of
course, was easy to prepare for it was
perfectly cooked at the factory, but it
was a good illustration Of the conven-
fence of having Grape-Nuts about.
I'VE took up Grape-Nuts immedi.
ately after returning from five years
sojourn in hot country. Our stom-
achs were in bad condition and we
were in poor health generally.
In a day or two we liked Grape
Nuts better than any other kind OF
food on the table. We both gained
steadily in health and strength, and
this was caused by Grape-Nuts and
Postum.
"a friend of ours had a similar ex.
perience. She was seriously ill with
Indigestion and could find nothing to
eat that would not give her heartburn
and palpitation, especially at night.
She found that small dish OF
Grape-Nuts with cream made her Q
satisfactory supper and gave her 9
comfortable nights rest. In a short
time she gained several pounds in
weight"
