MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts.
The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in 'addition to
what might be expected from its
chemical analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly
baked for many hours and contains
all the wholesome ingredients in
these cereals.
It contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which
Nature uses to build up brain and
nerve cells.
Young children require proportion¬
ately more of this element because
the brain and nervous system of the
child grows so rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value of
Grape-Nuts in not only building up
her own strength but in nourishing
her baby at the same time. She
writes:
“After my baby came I did not re¬
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said I could not nurse the baby
as I did not have nourishment for
her, besides I was too weak.
He said I might try a change of
diet and see what that would do, and
recommended Grape-Nuts food, I
bought a pkg. and used it regularly.
A marked change came over both
baby and I.
“My baby is now»four months old,
is in fine condition, I am nursing her
and doing all my work and never felt
better in my life.” “There’s a Rea
son.”
