In Building
A Highway
you would build for efficient service now and (or gen
erations to come.
The "Road to Wellville" is built that way. And the
password to that road is "right living," in which food
and drink play such a big part
More and more people are waking up to the need
of banishing from the dietary heavy, indigestible foods,
and food deficient in the vitalizing mineral salts. Food
scientists now hold that the lack of these elements is
one of the chief causes of a long list of ills, including
anemia, constipation, nervous prostration, kidney
trouble, and so on.
Long ago a food now famous was devised to
make up for this lack, and it does it admirably.
That food is
Grape -Nuts
Made of whole wheat and barley, it contains all the
nutrition of the grain, including those vital elements
phosphate of potash, etc. which are indispensable for
perfect balance of body, brain and nerves, and for
warding off disease.
This food comes ready to eat, is economical, and
delicious, Digests quickly generally in about one
hour and is full of health-making goodness.
A ration of Grape-Nuts along with other food Jias
started thousands on the "Road to Wellville."
