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* "There's a Reason.' Rook for the famous little book.
