was compelled TO abandon it, as | be-

About two years ago my attention
was called to Postum Cereal Food
Coffee, and a trial was made, believing
that if it proved half as valuable as
claimed it would be Of great advan-
tage to me. on the first trial it tasted
rather insipid to our strong coffee
loving family. but a little freer use of
Postum and longer boiling produced a
delicious drink and within a Short
time the members of the family, one
and all, had become ardent advocates
of Postum Food Coffee.

five days, and is not likely to be re-
peated. The nervous suffering that
followed was understandable, and | did
not recover from its effects for nearly
