According to an ancient law in England, “a hyde of land” facluded what could reasonably be cultivated with one plow.

Tkat marked the gradusl decline of that means of measuring land, and before many years the term fell into disuse, never to be revived.: s

A doctor in Kansas experimented with his boy in a test of food and gives the particulars. He savs:

- paturally watch the eflect of different foods on patients. My own_little son, a lad of four, had been ill with pneumonia and during his convalescence did not seem fo care for any kind of food. 2

“l 1 knew something of Grape-Nuts and its rather fascinating flavor, and particularly of its nourishing and nerve-building powers, so I started the boy on Grape-Nuts and found from the first dish that he liked it.

“His mother gave it to him steadily and he began to improve at once. In Jess than a month he had gained about eight pounds and soon became s 0 well and strong we had no further anxiety about him. .

“An old patient of mine, 73 years old, came down with serious stomach trouble and before I was called had got so weak he could eat almost nothing, and was in a serious condition. He had tried almost every kind of food for the sick without avail

“I immediately put him on GrapeNuts with good, rich milk and just a little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed when ] came next day ‘Why doctor I never ate anything so good or that made me feel so much stronger.’ “lI am pleased to say that he got well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to stick to it for two or three weeks, then he began to branch out a little with rice or an ‘egg or two. He got entirely well in spite of his almost hopeless condition. He gained 22 pounds in two months which at his age is remarkable. = ~ “I could quote a list of cases whers Grape-Nuts has worked wonders” “There’s a Reason™ Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. , Ever read the m l:terr A mnew one appears from ‘time, M
