Of Great Importance That children Have Proper Food.
A child will grow up with weak and small bones or strong and sturdy frame, depending on the kind of food given.
That's why feeding the youngsters is of such great importance. The children do not select the food - the responsibility rests with the parent or guardian, or with you if you select the food for a boy or girl.
The scientific selection of this food should begin early as possible. that's when the delicate little plant needs the tenderst care.
A well known lady of Calistoga, Calif., says: "About two years ago my little niece was taken sick. When medical aid was called, one pronounced the case curvature of the spine; another called it softening of the bones and gave little hope of recovery. For weeks she had been failing before her parents thought it anything but trouble from teething.
She had been fed on mushes and soft foods of different kinds, but at last her stomach could retain scarcely anything. At this time she had become a weak little skelton of humanity that could not much more stand alone.
The doctors changed her food several times until finally she was put on Grape-Nuts which she relished from the first and ate at almost every meal and her recovery has been wonderful. She has been gaining ever since in strength and weight.
She has eaten dozens of packages of Grape-Nuts in the last year and a half and the child is now a rosy-cheeked and healthy little girl, still clinging to her Grape-Nuts.
It is plain the food has saved her life by giving her body the needed material to build with.

Most people now know that Corn Syrup is not a healthy sugar. John....

Now keep in mind. This food at one time was very healthy. Unless you make it yourself, there is no guarantee that what is in the box made by Post is good for you or not. At one point in time, keeping people healthy with good ingredients was the norm. Now they just put garbage ingredients that are cheap for them to make the cereal with at your healths expense.
