poor health generally.
I'm 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.

perience. She was seriously i'll with
indigestion and could find nothing to
eat that would not give her heartburn
