What About
the Teeth?
Statistics show that only about 14 out of every 500 New
York City school children have sound teeth. Probably simi
lar conditions prevail elsewhere.
There's a Reason! And it lies to a great extent in the
demineralized foods that make up the usual diet of children.
The body must have its quota of mineral elements—lime for
the teeth, iron for the blood, phosphate of potash for the
nerves, etc. —or disaster is pretty sure to follow. Many foods
—especially white bread—are woefully lacking in these vital
mineral elements.
The famous food,
Grape-Nuts
is rich in these elements. It is made of whole wheat and
malted barley, retaining the mineral salts so abundantly
stored in the grain by Nature.
Grape-Nuts is easily digested, appetizing, and highly
nourishing. Along with other food, a daily ration of Grape-
Nuts does much toward correcting dietetic faults in both
children and adults.
