BLAME CONDITION OF MIND
John Bunyan a Man V»'hom Fate Had
Singled Out as a Confirmed
Hypochondriac.
In the autobiography entitled.
"Grace Abounding Unto the Chief of
Sinners," is contained the most vivid
pictur .■ extant of a hypochondriac. It
is a record of the feeling of
“God's poor servant. John Bunyan,"
as the author styles himself. The
J- plain tls!e of his unhappiness, from
boyhood up to his imprisonment in
Bedford jail, is explanatory of many
passages in his pretentious work, the
"Pilgrim’s Progress," which did not
harmonize with the psychical experi
ences of normally constituted Chris
tians.
In this connection attention is es
pecially directed to the Slough of
Despond, the man In the Iron case,
the description of Doubting Castle,
Mrs. Diffidence and Giant Despair.
Bunyan says in words which natu
rally break into poetic rhythm: “1 be
held the condition of dog and toad,
and counted the estate of everything
that God had made far better than
this dreadful state c£ mind." No nor
mal individual ever felt like that; but
to the hypochrondiac, alone In crea
tion, no past, no future, can be so bad
as the present.—Dr. H'ward D. .{ins,
ir. New York Medical Journal.

the merchant $1.35. “Now,” the hard

‘Jimmy.'' exclaimed his mother on
seeing the youngster, “come here a
moment."
“Yes. ma'am." obeyed Jimmy, quick
ly hustling to his mother’s side.
"What in the world have you been
doing?" demanded the fond parent.
“Your head is all perspiration."
"That's all right, mamma,” was the
indifferent response of Jimmy. “My
roof leaks."

“DEAR MOTHER:— A good thing to
send would be a package of Grape-Nuts,
or something of that kind that is not
expensive or heavy and is of good food
value. Your son, WILL.”
From a Canadian soldier at the battle front;
reprinted from the Renfrew (Ont.) Journal.
Wherever hardships are endured, wherever big deeds are accomplished, there a
food is demanded that provides maximum of value in brain- and body-building
material with minimum of bulk.
In this respect no other food equals
Grape-Nuts
In building the Panama Canal thousands of brain workers as well as brawn
workers kept themselves fit and in trim by eating Grape- Nuts dry from the package.
Not only does Grape-Nuts supply all the brain- ar d bone-building, nerve- and
muscle-making elements of choicest wheat but also the rich nutriment of malted barley.
Grape-Nuts is highly concentrated nourishment in coni pact form—always ready,
crisp and delicious—thoroughly baked and packaged to keep indefinitely, anywhere.
Wherever time is precious and sound nourishment vital you'll find Grape-Nuts.
