Down at Hot Springs, Ark., the vis
itors have all sorts of complaints, but
It is a subject of remark that the great
majority of th m have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy med
icines.
Naturally, under the conditions* the
question of food is very prominent.
A young man states that he had suf
fered for nine vcars from stomach and
bowel trouble, had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheum
atism, and his stomach trouble got
worse. One day at breakfast the wait
er, knowing his condition, suggested
he try Grape-Nuts and cream, which
he did, and found the food agreed with
him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at night, different than
he had for years. The perfect diges
tion of the food quieted his nervous
system and made sleep possible.
He says: “The next morning I was
astonished to find my condition of con
stipation had disappeared. I could not
believe it true after suffering for so
many years; then I took more inter
est in the food, read the little book
'The Rond to Wellville,’ and started
following the simple directions.

in the last live weeks I have gained
