It's Foolish to Suffer
You may be brave enough to
stand backache, or headache, or
dizziness. But if, in addition, ur-
ination is disordered, look out!
If you don't try to tlx your sick
kidneys, you may fall into the
clutches of kidney trouble before
you know it. But if you live more
carefully and help your kidneys
with Doan's Kidney Pills, you can
stop the pains you have and avoid
future danger as well.

Big Jobs
—are gained largely by doing common tasks
uncommonly well.
But—to do unusually good work ot any kind,
fitness of body and mind are required.
Food plays a big part in this matter—food that
contains true nourishment. And true nourishment—
be it remembered—must include certain important
elements which unfortunately are often lacking in the
ordinary dietary—especially in white bread. These
elements are phosphorus, iron, lime, sulphur, etc.,
stored by Nature in her field grains, and absolutely
necessary for building strong, vigorous bodies and
active brains.
FOOD
-—made of choice wheat and malted barley, affords all
the nutriment of these grains, including these important
mineral elements, in form for easy, quick digestion.
Grape-Nuts food is always fresh, crisp, sweet and
ready to eat—with cream or milk.
Thousands have found that a ration of Grape-
Nuts each day makes for real progress towards the
bigger things of life.
