MRS. NELLIE A. VOSBURG
IudiauoIa, Iowa,

that she could rest She said: No,
mother, must get this lesson tonight
and be up early to get another in the
morning. I don't know why 1t is, but
I have been falling behind my class
for over six months, and I must work
an order to graduate this spring. I be
Hieve I will go and make me a cup of
strong coffee, that will brace me up So
a good cup of coffee was made and
Maud got through with her lessons at
eleven o'clock.
THE next morning heard a rafting
at the stove about half past four, and
went down to find Maud there building
fire. She said she could not sleep and
that she had to study, so she thought
she would make some coffee as it help
ed her the night before. I went back to
bed with heavy heart, for there was
a thought of danger creeping in. Step
by step my mind went back over the
last year, and the acts of our dear
daughter during that time passed be-
fore me like a panorama. She used to
be so well and happy but now she acted
as if she was almost crazy with
nervousness and wreck of her former
beautiful self. 1t dawned upon the
mothers mind that Maud was fading
away, and looking to God, I breathed
save my child.
1.-The next morning started out to
consult the family physician, but just
at the door, met a neighbours daugh-
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 had seen her since
her return. I saw that she was the pic
ture of health, and I said, Why, Fan
ME Prayer, what have you been doing
with yourself? I never saw such a
change In my life She answered,
Why, you know I finally found out
that the coffee I was drinking was ruin
ing me, and when got out to Auntie's
she took the coffee away entirely and
gave me Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
That is the only thing have had, and
YOU can see what the result is. I am
just as well as I can possibly be, and
getting along beautifully with my
school work
7 was so deeply impressed with Fan
MES experience, and her former cOndi-
ton tailed, so closely with Maud's, that
abandoned my proposed trip to the
physicians, and went instead to the
grocer'S and secured a package of Pos
tuTn- That night Maud had Postum
Food Coffee, instead of coffee and the
next morning the dear child said she
nad slept and was very much refreshed.
The effect was so instantaneous that ]
was very much surprised, and feared
perhaps there might be some medicines
IN Postum, but I have since been assur-
ed that it contains no medicines what
ever but that on the contrary, it is
made of pure cereals, so handled by
skilled experts, in it's manufacture, that
the delicate small particles of phosphate
OF potash are retained in a natural state
as found in certain parts of the cereals
and that this, together with the albu-
men in food goes quickly to work to re-
build the nervous system Our daugh-
ter has been saved to US. She gradu-
ated with honor, and instead of the
nervous wreck she was at one time
she is now the picture Of bounding
6salth.'
