WHAT WITCH 2"
A Husbands Question.

When man, from coffee drinking,
gets to such a condition that he cannot
eat breakfast without throwing 1t up,
It seems time to quit, but there are
thousands Of weak-minded people who
have not logical brains enough to I'M
derstand that when an article of food
or drink produces such conditions as
these, it should be absolutely left off
"A little woman in Butte, Montana,
Mrs Fitzmaurice, writes that she and
her husband are different kind of
people. They know enough to quit
coffee when it had raped them hard
She says. My husband was so badly
affected that he ate no breakfast for
three or four years. He would often
try to drink few sips of coffee and
invariably threw 1t Up. When Postum
Food Coffee was brought to my atten-
ton | tried it without having any faith
in it, but when / found what delicious
beverage it was when prepared accord
ing to directions, and from trying it on
myself found there were no bad eff
fects, / induced my husband to take a
cup without telling him it was the
Food Coffee. He objected at first. say
ing that he would be sure to throw it
up, but when ! insisted upon his try
ing it, it agreed with him.
Morning after morning ! gave him
Postum without telling him that it
was any different from ordinary coffee
His stomach quickly recovered and he
began to eat breakfast. He asked me
one morning as he asked for a second
cup of the Postum what witch had
taught me to make such delicious cof-
fee," and where | found some that
would agree with him." Then I told
him for the first time that he had not
been drinking coffee but Postum,
which had SO strengthened his stom-
ach that he could now eat as much
breakfast as any one.
MY two sisters were badly troubled
with stomach disorder hut after leav-
ing on coffee and taking Postum they
both recovered their appetites and took
on considerable flesh. wish every
one could be induced 70 use the health
giving. aromatic Postum"
