This advertisement has a picture of a clock and a hand preparing Ralston breakfast food and being done in 5 minutes. The text is as followed: "A Breakfast for 2 cts. in 5 minutes. Ralston, the 5-minute food, cooks perfectly in five minutes. No other cereal cooks in less than twenty. It is better to cook food in five minutes and eat it in twenty, than to cook in twenty what you must swallow in five. Ralston is made from Gluterean Wheat, found only in once section of the country. Light and palatable, it does not heat the blood
