APPENDICITIS.

Not at All Necessary to Operate la Many Caaer. ’ Automobiles and Appendicitis scare some people before they are hit. Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch In -the bowels. Starch is hard to digest and clogs up the digestive machinery—also tends to form cukes in the cecum. (That’s the blind pouch at entrance to the appendix.) A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but lived on milk for a while —then GrapeNuts and got well without an operation. She says: “Five years ago while at school I suffered terribly with constipation and Indigestion.” (Too much Btarch white bread, potatoes, etc., which she did not digest.) “Soon after I left school I had an attack of appendicitis and for thirteen weeks lived on milk and water. When I recovered enough to eat solid food there was nothing that would agree with me, until a friend recommended Grape-Nuts. “When I began to eat Grape-Nuts I weighed 98 lbs., but I soon grew to 115 lbs. The distress after eating left me entirely and now I am like a new person.” (A little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot water or milk would have been much better for this case than milk alone, for the starchy part of the wheat and barley Is changed Into a form of digestible sugar In making Grape-Nuts.)
