He says: “When I was 19 years of age I had a severe attack of Typhold fever, and after almost starving to death I was left in a pitiable condi- tion. “My nervous system was so shat- tered that I had to walk with a cane for 6 months after I got on my feet, and my stomach was terribly dis- tendéd. This was 30 years ago, and since that time I have never known health, although I had tried doctor saw an article about Grape-Nuts that Jmprensed me s0 I thought I would try It. “So I gave Grape-Nuts a trial, more as something to eat than with afly idea it would help me, My improve- ment commenced immediately and has kept right up until now I have used 7 packages, and I feel like an- other person. I am in better health than I have been since boyhood and am strong and contented. Grape- Nuts food helped me after everything else failed, and I look on this as an evidence of the great power of proper food."
