that she could rest. She said, No,
mother, 1 must get this lesson tonight
and be UP early to get another in the
morning. / don't know why it is, but
1 have been falling behind my class for
over six months, and l must work in
order to graduate this spring. I believe
1 will so 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 II
O'clock
The next morning 1 heard a rafting
at the stove about half past 4, and
went down to find Maud there building
a 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. 1 went
back to bed with a heavy heart, for
there was a thought of danger creep
ing 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 panorama. She
used to be so well and happy, but now
she acted as if she was almost crazy
with nervousness and a wreck of her
former beautiful self. 1t dawned upon
the mothers mind that Maud was fad
ing away, and looking to God, 1
breathed silent prayer to the dear
Father to save my child.
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 bee 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 village near by, and this was
the first time l had seen her since her
return. 1 saw that she was the picture
of health, and / said: Why Fannie
Prayer, what have you been doing with
Yourself I never saw such a change
in my life. She answered, Why you
know ! finally found out that the cof-
fee / was drinking was running me, and
when / got out to aunties she took the
coffee away entirely and gave me Pos
tum Cereal Food Coffee. That is the
only thing 1 have had, and you can
see what the result is. 1 am just as
well as / can possibly be, and getting
along beautifully with my school work
L 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 gro
GERS and secured a package of Postum.
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 that I was
very much surprised, and feared per-
haps there might be some medicines in
Postum, but have since been assured
that it contains no medicines whatever,
but that, on the contrary, it is made OF
pure cereals, so handled by skilled ex-
perts in its manufacture that the deli
cate small particles of phosphate of
potash are retained in 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
rebuild the nervous system. Our daugh-
ter has been saved to us. She gradual
ed with honor, and instead of the ner-
vous wreck she was at one time, she
is now the picture Of bounding health. .
