POSTUM CEREAL.
PINEY WOODS.
Healthful but Not Always curativ,

To go to the piney woods is a help, but
# one carries along the bad habits of
food and drink that have caused sickness.
the piney woods will not produce a re-
covery.
Coffee drinking caused blindness in a
Virginia gentleman and his remarkable
experience is worth reading. Il have
been a coffee drinker since my earliest
remembrance. II I missed coffee at a
meal il brought on headache. This
should have shown me that I was a vic
tim 10 a drug habit. Finally wakefuI.
restless nights came on. After dinner /
was always drOwsy and after sleeping
would waken stupid and morbid, and felt
as though / had been drugged, and when
, this feeling wore off nervousness and
estlessness would set in until I drugged
myself with coffee again.
AT last nay eyesight began to fail.
Some Of the best optical specialists
agreed that ] had an affiiction Of the op-
tic nerve and after two or three years
treatment my eyes slowly lost their pow
er and ] became almost sightess.
I was advised to go to a pine woods
near the sea in a most isolated place.
This i did and lived there for two years
without any visible benefit. ] gave up
al hope OF recovery Unlll last SpIlhS d
friend expressed the belief that the cof-
fee / drank was the cause Of all of my
trouble He had been a slave to it and
had been unable 10 find relief until he
quit and took up Postum Food Coffee.
His experience startled me and l de-
cided 10 try the change although I had
but little faith IN its merits. My first cup
Of Postum proved delicious and was a
great surprise 1t was evidently well
made had not the slightest trouble in
leaving of coffee. for the Postum filled its
place perfectly.
During the past six months 1 have
gained in flesh, my sallow complexion
has become clear, and my eyesight
