MEMORY MENDING.
What Food Alone Can Do for the Memory.
The influence of food upon the brain
and memory is so little understood that
people are inclined to marvel at it.
Take a person who has been living on
improperly selected food and put him
upon a scientific diet in which the food
Grape-Xuts is largely used and the increase
of mental power (hat follows is
truly reme-kable.
A Canadian who was sent to Colorado
for his health illustrates this point in a
most convincing manner:
"One year ago 1 came from Canada a
nervous wreck, so my physician said, and
reduced in weigat .o almost a skeleton
and my memory was so i?oor that conversations
had to be repeated that had
taken place only a few hours before. 1
was unable to rest day or night for my
nervous system was s-iattered.
"The change of ctlma.e helped me ?
little but it was soon seen that this was
not all that 1 neeaed. I required the
proper selection of food although 1 did
not realize it until a friend recommended
Grape-.silts to me and I gave this food a
thorough trial. Then 1 knew what the
riirhf fnn/1 rnnlH /In onH f Won
in my feelings and bodily condition.
"This kept up until now after 6 months
use of Grape-Nuts a.i my nervous trouble
has entirely disappeared. 1 have gaTheu
in Mesh all that I had lost and what is
more wonderful iO me than anything
else m ymemory is as good as it ever
was.
"Grape-Nuts has remade me all
over, minu and body, when I never expected
to be well and happy again.1*
