TRY THE GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY
It always gives me pleasure to recom
mend anything that la right and so I feel
It my duty to herald the praises of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. '
For years I was troubled with kidney
disease and it wo so intense that I was
bedridden for days at a time. I gave up
all hope and doctors for miles around
gave me no help. Incidentally I tried
several r-atent remedies and at last tried
Swamp-Root. From the first it gave me
relief and it was no time before I was
able to be up and around and now I am
perfectly well and able to work as I used
to before my terrible sickness.
So now let ma thank you for yonr won
derful discovery and take this oppor
tunity to recommend it to all who suffer
from kidney troubles.
Yours very truly,
WALTER SHIVER,

are gained largely by doing common tasks
uncommonly well, '
But to do unusually good work of any kind,
fitness of body and mind are required.
Food plays a big part in this matter food that
contains true nourishment. And true nourishment
be it remembered must include certain important
elements which unfortunately are often lacking in the
ordinary dietary especially in white bread. These
elements are phosphorus, iron, lime, sulphur, etc.,
stored by Nature in her field grains, and absolutely
necessary for building strong, vigorous bodies and
active brains.
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
made of choice wheat' and malted barley, affords all
the nutriment of these grains, including these important
mineral elements, in form for easy, quick digestion.
Grape-Nuts food is always fresh, crisp, sweet and
ready to eat with cream or milk.
Thousands have found that a ration of Grape
Nuts each day makes for real progress towards the
