Show SURPRISED HIM ' Doctor's Test of Food. A doctor in Kansas experimented with his boy in a test of food and gives the particulars. He says: "I naturally watch the effect of different dif-ferent foods on patients. My own little lit-tle son, a lad of four, had been ill V with pneumonia and during his convalescence conva-lescence did not seem to care for any kind of food. "I knew something of Grape-Nuts and its rather fascinating flavor, and particularly of its nourishing and nerve-building powers, so I started the boy on Grape-Nuts and found from the first dish that he liked it. "His mother gave it to him steadily and he began to improve at once. In less than a month he had gained about eight pounds and soon became so well and strong we had no further anxiety about him. "An old patient of mine, 73 years old, came down with serious stomach trouble and before I was called had got so weak he could eat almost nothing, noth-ing, and was in a serious condition. He had tried almost every kind of food for the sick without avail. "I immediately put him on Grape-Nuts Grape-Nuts with good, rich milk and just a little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed when I came next day 'Why doctor I never ate anything so good or that made me feel so much stronger.' "I am pleased to say that he got well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to stick to it for two or three weeks, then he began to branch out a little with rice or an egg or two. He got entirely well in spite of his almost hopeless condition. He gained 22 pounds in two months which at his age is remarkable. "I could quote a list of cases where Grape-Nuts has worked wonders." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellvllle," in pkgs. Ever rend the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They nre arenulne, true, and full of human Interest. ft'.- |
