articles of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For number of years l suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until / was i'll
most of the time. About four years
ago l left off coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but was so re-
duced in flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. 1 lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
day / gained in flesh and strength I'M
til the nervous trouble had disap-
peared. I feel that / owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled, for long
time, with occasional cramps, and
slept badly. Finally i prevailed upon
him to leave off coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
a few days he found that he could

A spasm, as of distress, passed over

Rinninn In the Ears.

Swelling and congestion of the mu-

ing in the ears. If not soon relieved
it will bring on disease of the in

can biological society recently that he
treats this by swabbing out the eu-

grains of nitrate of silver in an ounce
of water, applying it on pledget of
cotton wound at the end of two strands
of thin wire twisted as one.
