experienced, almost constantly, a feeling,
of exhaustion. t ..t,
"I tried various remedies without' good
results; then I determined to give particular
attention to my food, and have
learned something of the properties of
Grape-Nuts for rebuilding the brain
and nerves. ' u>'{I

"I commenced using Grape-Nuts and
have since made a constant and rapid
improvement in health, in spite of the
fact that all this time I have been engaged
in the most strenuous and exacting
work. ,

much with weak eyes but as my vitality
increased the eyes became strong,
