STURDY BLACKSWlTHS
Learn Facts About cCffee.

Two blacksmiths of Northampton, Mass, Messrs. Thayer and McGrath, both discov- cred that coffee was the cause of heartburn and sour stomach continually troubling them in spite of active exercise.
 They left off the coffee and began taking Postum Food Coffee. The trouble disap- peared at once, and both men are now en- thusiastic over Postum.
 If powerful men like blacksmiths are affected by the drugs contained in ordinary coffee, it would seem folly for brain work CTS to try to withstand the effects of it.
 Hiram Day, man seventy-five years old, also of Northampton, had used coffee for a great many years, and discovered serious bilious troubles. A few months ago he left off coffee and began using Postum Food Coffee. He has recovered his health ad considers Postum in every way superior to ordinary coffee.
 Edson P Clark, also of Northampton, Mass, a pencil manufacturer, was troubled with dyspepsia and kidney disorders. He was induced to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee in it's place. He says he has never been as well in twenty-five years as he is at present, and gives the en- tire credit to Postum.
 Nearly every coffee user is i'll in some part of the body. Coffee does not directly Affect the same organs in every man or woman, but the effect is first on the stomach, and from that to the nervous system. When the nerves are out of or der it may show In the different organs like the kidneys, liver. heart, lungs, bowels or some other part of the body. or the trou- ble may show itself in general nervous and unbalanced condition. When coffee is dispensed with, and nature begins to set up cure, it is very greatly helped in this work by the use of Postum Food Coffee, for 1t contains certain elements that the life force uses to build up the cells and the gray matter in the nerve centers. Any per- son can prove this same by trial.
