IN AN OLD TRUNK

Baby Finds a Bottle of Carbolic Acid and Drinks It. While the mother was unpacking an old trunk a little 18-months old baby got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid while playing on the floor, and his stomach was so badly burned it was feared he would not live, for he could not eat ordinary foods. The mother •ays in telling of the case: “It was all two doctors could do to save him, ns it burnt his throat and stomach so bad that for two months after he took the poison nothing would lay on his stomach. Finally I took him into the country and tried new milk, and that was no better for him. His grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts end I am thankful I adopted the food, for he commenced to get better right away and would not eat anything else. He commenced to get fleshy and his cheeks like red roses and now he Is entirely well. “I took him to Matamoras on a visit, and every place we went to stay to eat he called fer Grape-Nuta and I would have to explain how he came to call for it, as It was his main food. “The names of the physicians who attended the baby are Dr. Eddy, of thia town, and Dr. Geo. Gale, of Newport, Ohio, and anyone caq write to me or to them and learn what GrapeNuts food will do for children and gaown-ups, too.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
