that she could rest. She said, No,
mother, 1 must get this lesson tonight
and be up early to get another in the
morning. I don't know why 1t is,
but | have been falling behind my class
for over six months, and / must work
in order to graduate this spring. 1 be-
lieve I will go and make me cup or
strong coffee, that will brace me up so
q good cup of coffee was made and
Maud got through with her lessons at
IL o'clock
1.-The next morning I heard a rafting
at the stove about half-past and went
down 10 find Maud there building a
fire. She said she could not sleep ana
that she had to study, so she thought
she would make some coffee, as 1t help-
ed her the night before. l went back to
bed with a heavy heart, for there was
thought of danger creeping IN step oy
step my mind went back over the last
year, and the acts of our dear daughter
during that time passed before me IKE
a panorama. She used to be so well
and happy, but now she acted as If she
was almost crazy with nervousness ana
a wreck of her former beautiful SELF
1t dawned upon the mothers nina that
Maud was fading away, and, looking TO
God, I breathed a silent prayer to the
dear father to save my child.
1.-The next morning L started out 10
consult the family physician, but just
at the door / met a neighborS daugn-
ter on her way to school. A year ago
this young lady had been confined to
her bed for months with nervous pros
tration, and it was whispered about
that if she lived she would be likely to
lose her mind. Her parents sent her
away to a village near by, and this
was the first time l had seen her since
her return. l saw that she was the pic
ture Of health, and I said, Why, Fan
ME Prayer, what have you been doing
with yourself? / never saw such a
change in my life. She answered,
why. you know I finally found out
that the coffee | was drinking was rum
ing me, and when l got out to auntie's
she took the coffee away entirely ana
gave me Postum Cereal Food Cofee:
That is the only thing I have had. and
YOU can see what the result is. l am
just as well as / can possibly be, ana
getting along beautifully with my
school work
Il was so deeply impressed with Fan
MES experience and her former condi-
ton tailed so closely with Mauds that
/ abandoned my proposed trip to the
physicians and went instead to the
grocer'S and secured a package OF POS
tum. That night Maud had Postum
Food Coffee instead of coffee and the
next morning the dear child said she
had slept and was very much refreshed
The effect was so instantaneous thatv
was very much surprised and feared
perhaps there might be some medicines
in Postum, but have since been assur-
ed that it contains no medicines what
ever, but that on the contrary 1t is
made of pure cereals, so handled by
skilled experts in its manufacture tnat
the delicate small particles of phos-
phate of potash are retained in natu-
raj state as found in certain parts of
the cereals, and that this, together with
the albumen in food, goes quickly to
work to rebuild the nervous system.
Our daughter has been saved to us. She
graduated with honor, and instead of
the nervous wreck she was at one time,
she is now the picture Of bounding
health.
