and commenced at once.
''The food did me good from tho
start and was soon out Of bed and re-
covered from the stomach trouble. I

sitting down only long enough to eat
my meals. T. can eat anything that
one ought to eat, but still continue
to eat Grape-Nuts at breakfast and

considering that could stand only
q short time, and that a glass of water
seemed so heavy am fully satisfied
