COFFEE FOR MOTHERS.
The Kind that Nourishes and
Supplies Food for Mother
and Child.

My husband has been unable to drink
coffee for several years, so we were very
glad to give Postum Food Coffee a trial,
and when we understood that by long
boiling il would bring out the delicious
flavor, we have been highly pleased
with il.
II is one OF the finest things for nursing
mothers that have ever seen. II keeps
up the mothers strength and increases
the supply OF nourishment for the child II
partaken OF freely. drank IL between
meals instead OF water, and found 1t most
beneficial.
Our five year old boy has been very
delicate since birth and has developed
slowly. He was white and bloodless.
began TO give him Postum freely, and you
would be surprised at the change. When
any person remarks about the great i'm
provement, We never fail TO tell them that
we attribute his gain in strength and
general health, to the free use Of Postum
Food Coffee, and this has led many
friends TO use II for themselves and
children.
have always cautioned friends to whom
| have spoken about Postum, to follow
directions in making il, for unless il is
boiled fifteen or twenty minutes, il is
quite tasteless. On the other hand, when
properly made, II is very delicious. |
want TO thank y0s-feSsAs stEefste W. have
derived from the use OF your Postum
Coffee. Mrs. W. W. Earnest. 727 9th
