I have been a great sufferer from nervous diseases and rheumatism and nervous prostration an@ had previous- ly been treated at Sharon Springs and by a number of doctors without get- ting much assistance. “One day I was feeling worse than usual when I read an article about your Grape-Nuts that impressed me so that I sent out for a package.
