Beware of a part-bran product KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT BRAN To be effective, bran fiber must go through the various digestive processes without submitting o any of them. It must pass through the entire alimentarytractwithout its form being changed. What happens when a bran food is eaten? After the saliva has acted upon it, it passes through the stomach and into the intestines, where every part which is not fiber is absorbed. In ALL-BRAN the quantity of fiber is s0 great that it furnishes bulk enough to prevent and relieve constipation. In a part-bran food, the quantity of fiber is so small that there is only a puny amount to do a hercalean task. ALL-BRAN brings sure results. Demand it. Only ALL-BRAN brings sure results. A product which is only part bran is not dependable. It can bring, at best, only partial results. Too many times it may bring none at all. Kellogg's ALL-BRAN is ALL- BRAN. That is why doctors recommend it. Why take chances? Kellogg's is the original and only ALL-BRAN. In thousands of suc- cessful cases it has proved its worth.
