POSTUM CEREAL.
COFFEE HEART.
Many People Think They Have Heart
Disease.

Ny husband and I used to drink
Mocha and Java coffee at 40 cents a
pound. We made it strong and always
had it for breakfast; sometimes in cold
weather for luncheon and dinner. A
form Of heart disease came on to both
of us. Husband complained Of his
heart missing a beat sometimes, and
that he could not sleep after drinking
coffee for the s o'clock dinner. I had
pains at the heart, and very peculiar
smothering sensations, frequently ac-
companied with sick headache. Ny
physician forbid the use of coffee, and
we were put on Postum Food Coffee.
with the result that both husband and
myself have fully regained our health
and our hearts are all right and perfect
now.
4 have reached such perfection in
making Postum that husband cannot
tell either by look or taste whether he
is drinking fine coffee or Postum, and
he is a connoisseur in coffee. We drink
Postum two or three times a day and
it never pals on our taste.
"A good many people make Postum
in very slipshod manner; that is, they
dash a little into the coffee pot and let
it bubble up a little while and serve it.
but that makes the flattest kind Of a
drink On the contrary, when four
heaping teaspoons to the pint Of water
are used and the Postum allowed to boil
fully fifteen minutes after the boiling
begins mot counting after it is put on
the stove, but after the real boiling be-
gins, then one obtains beverage that
is worth while.
