that she could rest She said, Mo- mother, I must get this lesson ton ght and be up early to get another in the morning. I don't know why it is, but I have been falling behind my class for over six months, and I must work in order to graduate this spring. I be- lieve I will go and make me 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 I heard rat
 ting 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 helped her the night before. I went back. to bed with heavy heart, for there was 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 before me like a panora-
 ma. She used to be so well and hap
 Ey but TOW ske acted as if she was almost crazy with nervousness and a | wreck Of her former beautiful self. It daN ned upon the mothers mind that Maud was fading away, and look ng to l God. I breathed a silent prayer to the dear father to save my child.
 "The next morning I started out in consult the family physician, but just at the door, l met neighbor s | daughter on her way to school A year ago this young lady had been confined | to her bed for months with nervous prostration and it was whispered about | that if she lived, she would be likely to | lose her mind Her parents sent her
 away to village near by, and this was the first time I had seen her since her
 return I saw that she was the picture
 of health, and said, Why, Fannie Tray, what have you been doing with yourself? I never saw such a change 1 in my life. She answered, Why, you
 know I finally found out that the cof- fee I was drinking was ruining me. and when I got out to Auntie's she took the i coffee away entirely and gave me Pos-
 tum Cereal Food Coffee. That is the | only thing I have had, and you can | see what the result is. I am just as well
 as I can possible be, and getting along beautifully with my school work
 T was so deeply impressed with Fan l nie's experience, and her former condi- l tion tallied so closely with Maud's, that
 I 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 refresh ed. The effect was so instanteous that I was very much surprised, and feared perhaps ther might be some medicines | in Postum, but I have since been as-
 sured that it contains no medicines
 whatever, but that on the contrary, it is made of pure cereals so handled by
 skilled experts in it's manufacture, that 1 the delicate small particles of phos- l phate of potash are retained in a nat
 ural state as found in certain parts of ] the cereals. and that this together with 1 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.
