active fight to have the offensive water

POSTUM CEREAL.
DIR. HOWARD

Tells His Experience With Coffee.
am pleased to add my help to your
campaign of instruction on the subject
of coffee drinking. For ten or twelve
years I have been a severe sufferer
from that cause.
I gradually abandoned everything
from time to time that l thought pro-
duced the extreme nervousness from
which I suffered, and all Of my very
frequent calls on my fellow physicians
resulted in no benefit until l was ad-
vised to do without coffee.
My condition at that time was such
that l was certain that 1 had heart
disease in one Of it's worst forms.
Many a night 1 have retired not ex-
pecting TO live to see morning. The
action was so feeble and slow that it
would run as low as 80 to 40, and never
90 unless l was taking some severe
exercise or using some stimulant
My experience in examining patients
who presented themselves for opera
tions under an anesthetic led me to
continually compare my condition with
theirs. and life was made very miser-
able for me by such comparisons.
! also suffered from a constant mus
cular contraction of the fleshy portion

this letter, but 1 could not get rid Of
the trouble.
These conditions, with a constantly
sour stomach, a feeling of extreme
faintness about an hour before regu-
lar meal time, and a sallow complex
ion, give you a general idea of the
shape l was in just before l discon-
tinued the use of coffee. It was very
hard to give up coffee, but 1 was COM
PEELED to do so, and for a while used
water and milk. Then l tried a So
called cereal coffee, which I have since
learned is made partly OF coffee and
partly Of Drowned grains, and is sold
as an imitation of your Postum. This
did not work. so I went back to the
water and milk until about year ago
I got hold Of Postum-the genuine
Since then I have had one cup and
sometimes two every morning, and
frequently for dinner at night My
health was never better than 1t is now,
no nervousness or muscular contrac-
ton, no heart trouble or sour stom-
ach, and the pulse running from 70
to 76.
At the time I was suffering from the
effects Of coffee / made application
for some life insurance, and was re-
jected on account of the action Of my
heart To show what the abstinence
OF coffee and the drinking Of Postum
will do, and has done for me, l will
say that in March last I was examined
for life insurance and passed a most
excellent examination. Having gone
through the very disagreeable exper-
fence and been relieved from the
trouble, it is but natural that / should
feel Willingness to assist you all can
IN your work, for 1 do not believe one
person in ten has a realizing sense Of
the damage to the nervous system
caused by the consumption of coffee.

Several shots were fred, but failed to

PECULIAR POISONS.
IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs Of
death Called by scientists Ptomaines)
are usually the result of imperfect diges-
ton of food the result of indigestion OF
dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakens,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (the first process OF
decay poisoning the blood, making ii
thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles
poisoning the brain causing headaches,
pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion weakens' the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is go because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion elbows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley.
said the best start in life is sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (actic
and hydrochloric) and peptogenic pro-
ducts the most sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion, is to take after each
meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply in pleas
ant, harmless form all the elements that
weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form OF trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
plexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food we'll digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepeia Tablets at so cents full sized
