The Prevention

Tuberculosis
in the lungs depends, says a prominent Medical
Jpurnal in part, upon food thoroughly munched
before it is swallowed, and upon the avoidance of
constipation, not by taking physic, but by eating
sufficient vegetables, fruit and other food contain
ing cellular waste, also thoroughly munched, to
maintain the muscular tone of the stomach and
intestines; for the beginning of consumption often
follows indigestion and constipation.
It is well-knovn that if "good digestion waits
on appetite" all the forces of the body are better
able to" ward off disease." :

BLOOD KILLS GERMS
Good Blood Mads by Ooo JTood.
If one can surely turn food Into good
red blood it will combat any and every
disease known and conquer completely
more times than the axseaaa will win.
Any physician will tell you that good
rich blood and plenty of it is the est
germicide known and surely and safely
cures disease when medicines fall; the .
effort of the doctor la to give food that
digests and quickly makes blood.
No food ever discovered will do this
as certainly as Grape-Nuts, which Is
predlgested at the pure food factories
where It Is made. '
One of the many illustrations is that
of tuberculosis, which refuses to yield
to medicine but must give way to good
blood. A man from Phlladephia writes:
-1 have been fighting tuberculosis for
some years and, with a' weak stomach,
was losing ground slowly every year.
"I had tried all kinds of food and
finally got so far along with the dis
ease that my stomach, liver, kidneys,
bowels, and lungs were affected. My
stomach got to a point where it would
retain no food but- peptonised milk and
I was down to o ids. in weignt.
"The doctors said
aro that I had I

-and Is slowly driving It from them. ,
