COFFEE HITS HARD.
Almost Killed u CALIFORNIA; Girl.

A young lady In California had a re-
markable experience with coffee drink
ing. The details are most interesting TO
! anyone who even suspects that coffee Is
! damaging to the health She says, Il
| drank coffee from a child. and a few
| years ago my health began TO break
down, everything | ate or drank dis
tressed me, and | settled into chronic
form of dyspepsia accompanied with a
headache every morning, and was very
irritable most of the time. ! could not
slepe without taking a sleeping draught.
While at first the pains In my stomach
were slight, they kept growing worse,
until finally the most wholesome food
and drink would cause intense agony,
and a few minutes after eating ! would
have to throw everything up. My doc
tor had been telling me for some time
that coffee was hurting me, but ! did
not believe II was true for ] saw many
people drink coffee and thought | could
OF course. IN this condition | could
not sustain my flesh and strength. and
/ lost In weight from 1856 pounds down
10 30 pounds. and became perfect
skeleton, starving to death In a land OF
plenty, ! was confined to my bed and
dying by inches. The DR. told me there
was no chance Of my ever getting well,
as my stomach was worn out,
They had begun to wonder how many
more days would live. One day a lady
friend called and told how wonderfully
she had been helped out of stomach
trouble and headaches by leaving off
coftee and using Postum Food Coffee
and Grape-Nuts Food. She went right
10 work ana made me a nice cup OF
Postum and prepared a little Grape
Nuts. / dreaded the torture Of taking
anything into my stomach. but she
coaxed me 10 take spoonful Of Postum
and OF Grape-Nuts. To my great sur
prise, | found that | did not have any
pain to speak Of In my st0mamch. and
the food actually stayed down
Everyone was completely mystihed.
In little time afterward drank three
spoonfuls of the Postum and took a lit
Tie more Of the Grape-Nuts, AMI that
stayed down and seemed TO soothe my
nerves and give me a restful feeling.
soon after the doctor came i'm and
my nurse told him that, for the first
time In three weeks. food had stayed
on the stomach. He could hardly believe
her as he thought death was very near.
Then he wanted TO know what | had
been eating and drinking. He took
home some Of the Grape Nuts and Pos
tum. The next day he said there was
no mystery about II. as he had analyzed
the samples and said he had found n
pre-digested food and one that would
not hurt the stomach, aud the Postum
was the most natural drink he had ever
seen. He said that II did not excite
the nerves as did coffee, and that n
was nourishing and built up the sys-
tenn instead Of tearing Town. He had
my nurse give me more OF the Postum
and Grape Nuts and said there was one
ohpnce In ten that my system might be
built up and my life he saved.
In less than weeks time I could
drink half a cup Of Postum at once.
and how II did quiet my nerves and
make me feel like I was getting some
strength.
Six days after beginning Postum 7
went TO sleep the first time IN two
months without taking n sleeping
draught. So step by step kent on i'm
proving. The headaches disappeared.
MY stomach became stronger each day,
and gained steadily In weight.
AZ the end q four months felt like
new person and had gained fifty
rounds in weight, could sleep well, eat
pain food. and, all in all. feel well and
strong again.
nv head Is so clear that can think
better than ! ever could. 7 know. and
all Of our frienSs know. that there Is
not the slightest doubt but that would
ne Ia nv crave today but for Postum
Fond Coffee and Grape Nuts
