After trying soveral kinds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few day's that craving, gnawing feel lng would start up, and I would vomit everything I ato and drank. "When I startod on Grape-Nuts, vom iting stopped, and the bloated feeling which was so distressing disappeared entirely. "My mother was very much bothered with diarrhoea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts food she ia well, and says she don't think she could do without it. "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a 'bad stomach.' There is no medi cine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as yon can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts." Namo given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
