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 111 with-
typhoid fever so ill everyone thought
I would die even myself It left ma
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 hut 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 hut It also mads
me perfectly well and strong again
so I can do all my 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 ln Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
luto 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 no matter how weak the stom-
ach can handle it and grow strong fc
all the nourishment is still there
There's a sound reason and 10 days!
