Save Jhe bird in hand
The others may be hard to catch
With enough money, enough time
and enough luck, a man may get back
the health he has lost or part of it.
It takes patience, too.
And then there may be no success,
or only a little.
It's better to save what you have
than hunt for what you've lost as
the most successful health-restorers
will tell you.
Much of the loss of health is due to
faulty, careless diet. Wrong meals at
all times and right meals at wrong
times load the long-suffering digestive
organs with elements of destruction,
or starve the tissues and glands of
needed elements. - . r -
Grape-Nuts is a delicious cereal food
which has the qualities of scientific
nutrition. It supplies the full richness
of those splendid food grains, wheat and
malted barley, together with the vital
mineral elements, so often lacking from
foods. Served with cream or good milk,
Grape-Nuts gives full nourishment'
without over-loading the stomach. -
A splendid thought for breakfast
or lunch, for those who would keep
health-
