"An Old Man at 40"
How often you hear that remark! How
many such men there are! And how need
less it is!
Wrong food is the big cause.
When one feels old at forty the first thing
is to correct improper diet. The main fault
with the dietary is often a lack of the vital
mineral salts in food. Without these min
eral elements old age steals on rapidly.
To meet this very condition a food was
devised which supplies those mineral ele
ments such as phosphorus, iron, sulphur, etc.
That food is
Grape-Mits
Made of whole wheat and barley, this delicious food
retains all the nutriment of these grains, together with
the priceless mineral elements notably lacking in white
flour foods which the system must have to build and
maintain vigor and elasticity of body, brain and muscle.
One can avoid this "old-age-at-40" business by proper eating and living.
