GET POWER
The Supply Comes From Food.
If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can. That
fits the requirements of the
body.
“Not knowing how to select the right
ously for a long time from stomach
trouble,” writes a lady from a little
Western town.
“It seemed as if 1 would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything that
I could eat would stay on my stomach
Every attempt gave me heartburn and
filled my stomach with gas. 1 got thin
ner and thinner until I literally be-
came a living skeleton and in time was
compelled to keep to my bed.
“A few months ago | was persuaded
to try Grape -Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that I kept up its use. I was surprised
at the ease with which I digested it. It
proved to be just what 1 needed.
“All my unpleasant symptoms, the
beart-burn, the Infiated feeling which
gave me so much pain, disappeared.
My weight gradually increased from 98
to 116 Ibs, my figure rounded out, my
strength came back, and 1 am now able
to do my housework and enjoy it
Grape-Nuts did it."
A ten days trial will show anyone
some facts about food.
