What n good fresh color you
have!" said my friend Mrs. S. one
| morning about year rgo. DO tell
me what you have been doing to your
self"
l laughed and said, If l should
tell you, you would hardly believe it,
and yet l want you to look at me
again and see if you really appreciate
what great difference there is be-
tween my present looks and how 1
was two or three months ago"
Well" she said. my dear, don't
want TO flatter you, but really don't
know when l have seen as beautiful a
complexion as you have, and (pinch-
ing my cheeky l believe it is all nat
| ural." Yes" | said, lit is all nat
ural. 1t is complexion made on the
| inside and not on the out" "Wen.
do tell me about it, she said. Il
am a perfect martyr to dyspepsia and
feel almost discouraged, having tried
so many different kinds of medicines,
and got no relief"
said, you will have to stop cof-
fee entirely" 'Oh, bless your heart,
! can't do that she said. We'll,
| that is what l thought, but Dr.
said, ''you will never known the diff
ference in leaving off coffee if you
will use Postum Food Coffee, being
sure that it is properly boiled to
| bring out the flavor" and he added,
| there are certain elements in the
food coffee that l know from exper-
fence with patients, really go to build
up a strong, healthy nervous system,
and that is the foundation for true
health"
So l went at it, and l want to en-
phasize the necessity of following the
directions in making Postum, for
when first began to use it, L did not
heed them strictly, and the beverage
was almost failure, but l concluded
that the fault must be mine, and tried
again, with the most gratifying re-
suits"
A week or two later l met my
friend again, and she scarcely looked
| like the same woman II am feeling
so WELL, she exclaimed, land L owe
YOU the thanks. Why, when l was
talking to you before, l had such
headache and n burning distress in my
stomach, while all the time my liver
was disturbed, | was constipated, and
INC hluHeNS HlOIS VI lcSS CHcClcu. All
the world looked blue and she
laughed heartily as she told of the
old troubles, '~but they have gone now,
and today everything is rose colored.
How can l thank you enough, and
can tell you now that was in danger
of losing my position, (shc is a dep
uty in the office of the land commits
sioner at the state house,. l don't
understand how people can get into,
and keep aleng with such habits, but
they don't really know what the trou-
BILE is. That was the case with me,
and suppose it was the case with
you, was it not?' Yes" said,
land, by the way, L want to tell you
another item. My baby boy, two
years old, was puny, fretful, crying
child until began feeding him on
lightly toasted bread broken into Pos
tum. Now he is the picture of health
and weighs 10 pounds. Surely
there are more things in our philos-
ophy than we have dreamed of Mrs
George f. Bigelow, 1916 Sixth street,
Lincoln, Neb.
