In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts.
Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre-digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing so valuable as
Grape-Nuts, for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and is also all
digestible nourishment. A woman who
used it says:
“Some time ago I was very ill with
typhoid fever, so ill everyone thought
I would die, even myself. It left me
so weak I could not properly digest
food of any kind and I also had much
bowel trouble which left me a weak,
helpless wreck.
“I needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until I finally tried Grape-
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that I thought
delicious as could be, but it also made
me perfectly well and strong again
so I can do all ray housework, sleep
well, can eat anything without any
trace of bowel trouble and for that
reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth
its weight in gold." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Typhoid fever, like some other dis-
eases. atteks the bowels and frequent-
ly sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable of digesting the
starches and therefore pre-digested
Grape Nuts is invaluable for the well-
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
Into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories and therefore
anyone, do matter hew weak the stom-
ach. can handle It aad grow strong, for
all the nourishment is atlU there.

NERVOUSNESS AND
WEAKNESS CURED
BY PE-RU-NA.
Miss Sadie Robinson, 4 Rand street,
Malden, Mass., writes:
“Peruna was recommended to me
about a year ago as an excellent remedy
for the troubles peculiar to our sex, and
as I found that all that was said of this
medicine was true, I am pleased to en-
dorse it.
* •/began to use It about seven months
ago for weakness and nervousness,
caused from overwork and sleepless-
ness, and found that in a few days /
began to grow strong, my appetite in-
creased and I began to sleep better,
consequently my nervousness passed
away and the weakness in the pelvio
organs soon disappeared and / have
been well and strong ever since. ”
