MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT 

 A Lot of Trouble from Too Much Starchy Food. 



A little boy of eight years whose parents did not feed 

 him on the right kind of food, was always nervous and 

 suffered from a weak condition of the stomach and bow- 

 els. Finally he was taken down with appendicitis and 

 after the operation the doctor, knowing that his intestinal 

 digestion was very weak, put him on Grape-Nuts twice 

 a day. 



He rapidly recovered and about two months thereafter, 

 his Father states, " He has grown to be strong, muscular, 

 and sleeps soundly, weighs 62 pounds, and his whole 

 system is in a fine condition of health." Name given by 

 Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. 



It is plain that if he had been put on Grape-Nuts at an 

 earlier period in his life, and kept from the use of foods 

 that he could not digest, he never would have had ap- 

 pendicitis. That disease is caused by undigested food de- 

 caying in the stomach and bowels, causing irritation and 

 making for the growth of all kinds of microbes, setting up 

 a diseased condition which is the active cause of appen- 

 dicitis, and this is more marked with people who do not 

 properly digest white bread. 



Grape-Nuts is made of the selected parts of wheat 

 and barley and by the peculiar processes of the cooking 

 at the factory, all of the starch is turned into grape sugar 

 ready for immediate digestion and the more perfect 

 nourishment of all parts of the body, particularly the 

 brain and nerve centers.
