HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctor's Talk on Food.
I here are no fairer set of men on'3
earth than the doctors, and when they
lind they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
admission of the fact.
A case in point Is that of a practi
tioner, one of the good old school, who
lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up
1 had always had an intense preju
dice. which I can now see was unwar
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods, llence. I
never read a line of the many 'ads' of
(•rape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
lait winter.
While in Corpus Christ! for my
health, and visiting my youngest sun.
wiio h.-'s four of the ruddiest, hea'.thi
est little hoys 1 ever saw, I ate my
:i"st dish of Grape-Nuts food for Btip
with my little grandsons.
"I became exceedingly fond of it
and have eaten
a
package of it every
week since, and find it a delicious, re-"
fleshing and strengthening food, leuv
i"g no 111 effects whatever, causing no
'^nidations (with which I was for
merly much troubled), no sense of,
fullness, nausea, nor distress of stom
In any way.
There is no other food that aprrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does.
I am stronger and more active

than I have been for 10 years, and
am no longer troubled with nausea
