Excessive meat eaters ure usually luggisli a part of the time because hey are not able to fully digest their food, and the undigested portion is changed into what is practically a kind of poison that acts upon the toed and nerves, thus getting all through the system. 1 was a heavy meat eater.' writes an Ills. man. "and up to two years ago, was in very poor health. I suffer ed with indigestion so that I only weighed 95 pounds. Then I heard about Grape-Nuts and decided to try it. My wife laugh ed at me at first but when I gained to 125 pounds and felt so fine, she thought, she would eat Grape-Nuts too. “Now she is fat and well and has gained 40 pounds. We never havo in digestion any more and seldom feel the desire for meat. A'neighbor of ours, GS years old, was troubled with Indigestion for years; was a heavy meat inter, and now since he lias been eating Grai>c-Xnts regularly, he says he is well and never has indi gestion. I could name a lot of per sons who have really been cured of indigestion by changing from a heavy meat diet to Grape-Nuts.” “There’s a reason." Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
