"I'p to a year and a half sgn I had been a victim of stomach trouble and a most constant constipation for at least six years. "I at a laborer's meals and did almost no manual work at all. I was fond of fried foods, meats, fresh bread, hot biscuits, etc. Consequences many trips to the doctor, disagreeable, nauseous medicines and na relief. "About a yeai and a half ago I began ta us Grape-Nuts food, living on it almost entirely. Friends wondered how I could, snd wonder yet how I can, make a few spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts take the place of the heavy meat courses In which I used to Ind ilge. But wisdom is Justified of her rhlldren. I have found in Grape-Nuta a perfect food. "I have never grown tired of it yet. and I certainly have given It a good thai. And my constipation, with it attendant Ills, has disappeared My stomach hss toped up so thst I can eat almost smi thing, even at night, and hav no trouble whatever w'.th my digestion. "Before I began eating Gr&pe-N'uts food I used to find it difficult to concentrate my thoughts on my work or ward off rest irssnes after mesls. Now the reverse Is true, and I can settle down to brain work and complete my Ink in a workmanlike manner without becoming nervous or fagged out.
