DIDN'T QUIT.
Becnusr SIC Ncvrr S1artcd

Many people have been interested in the
reports OF persons nude i'll by coffee drink
ing and cured by quitting and using Pos
tuul Food Coffee. OF course. the leaving
off of the poison of coffee by highly organ
ICED people whose systems are affected bv
it, is 4 great help in itself. but the biggest
end of the help is in the. elements fur
Eished by Postum Food Coffee. This is a
true food drink of the highest character
y lady who has never been addicted to
tea or coffee drinking was reduced by
stomach trouble TO a condition of nervous
prcstration with heart trouble, insomnia,
ana finally got in such weak condition
That the Doctors said she could not get
we'll, and it was thought she would live
but a short time.
Someone brought Postum Food Coffee to
her attention, she quit taking Medicine
and went to using Postum. She says, sit
did not sour on my stomach and I began
to feel better at once. / kept on using it
day after day and now am well and strong
and have better health than 1 have had
for years. and am most sincerely thankful
that Postum Food Coffee WIS invented
and was led to use it.
This is q direct evidence of the fact
that has so often been stated that Postum
is a nourishing food drink containing the
elements Oh phosphate of potash and al
buzaen that go to build UP the gray mat
ter in the nerve cells in the brain and all
over the body. It does not contain medi-
cine OF any sort or kind, only the ele-t
merts placed in the cereals OF the field
by the Almighty Creator, nnd selected
and made use of in the form Of a liquid
food by the inventor.
MY husband is q grocer and has been
out of health tlor some time past, Since he
has found what Postum has done for me
he hns quit drinking coffee and been using
Postum for quite a little time. He has
improved greatly: sleeps well nights. and
saws he has given up coffee entirely ~
This lady lives at Great Bend, Kansas.
