BRAIN BUILDING
How to Feed Nervous Cases
Hysteria sometimes leads to insanity
and should be treated through feeding
the brain and nerves upon scientific
ally selected food that restores the
lost delicate gray matter Proof of the
power of the brain food Grape Nuts is
remarkably strong v
About eight years ago when work
ing very hard as a court stenographer
I collapsed physically and then nerv
ously and was taken to the State Hos
pital for the insane at Lincoln Neb a
raving maniac
They had to keep me in a strait
jacket and I was kept in the worst
ward for three months I was finally
dismissed in the following May but
did no brain work for years until last
fall when I was persuaded to take the
testimony in two cases One of these
was a murder case and the strain
upon my nervous system was so great
that I would have broken down again
except for the strength I had build up
by the use of Grape Nuts When I
began to feel the pressure of the work
on my bram and nerve3 I simply in
creased the amount of Grape Nuts
and used the food more regularly
I now feel like my old self again
and am healthy and happy I am sure
that if I had known of Grape Nuts
vhen I had my trouble eight years ago
I would never have collapsed and this
dark spot in my life would never have
happened Grape Nuts power as a
brain food is simply wonderful and I
do not believe any stomach is so weak
that it cannot digest this wonderful
food I feel a delicacy about having
my name appear in public but if you
think it would help any poor sufferer
you can use it Name given by Pos
tum Co Battle Creek Mich
There are desserts and desserts The
delicious health giving kind are told
about in the little recipe book found
