The work of a typesetter in a mod- 

 ern printing office is very exacting, 

 particularly if he runs a linotype o r 

 typesetting machine. It requires the closest attention 

 and rapid and sympathetic action of both brain and 

 hand. This machine works much like a typewriter. Such workers 

 fed on ordinary food give up because of nervous prostration, some in 

 a short time, and some are able to stand it longer. 



One of these workers says : " I have been at the linotype three 

 years. It has made a great change in my once robust health. About 

 three months ago, after long expecting it, I completely collapsed, from 

 indigestion and extreme nervousness. The daily physic I had not 

 dared to omit for years, now and then, refused relief and a physician 

 was consulted. 



" * Change of occupation and diet,' read the prescription; ' advise 

 eating Grape-Nuts food twice daily.' I had often set up the adver- 

 tisements of the Postum Cereal Co., but somehow printers are apt to 

 think advertisements are not intended for them to make use of. I 

 could not well change my occupation, but did change the diet. 



tk Since then have used Grape-Nuts, both at breakfast and supper, 

 daily. The results are truly remarkable. The first perceptible change 

 was in the matter of digestion. It has been six weeks since I have 

 had to swallow an aperient of any kind. At the beginning of my ex- 

 periment with Grape-Nuts I weighed 124 pounds; last evening I tipped 

 the beam at 157J. 



"My nerves, which were completely shattered three months ago, 

 are now strong and steady, and I do not tire easily, though I go to 

 bed an hour later on an average than formerly, and have increased my 

 capacity at the machine fully two columns of type a day. I am con- 

 vinced that Grape-Nuts food is the food for persons of sedentary occu- 

 pation, especially for those who work with brain in lieu of brawn."
