PATCHES.
why brown one. come on Faces.


When woman can get rid of brown
patches on her face by changing her diet
1T is worth while for other women who
care for their compilations to know
something of the method.
A lady in Michigan City. Ind, who
does not want her name mentioned, says
tha, coffee caused the brown patches
on her face by first giving her stomach
trouble. then putting her nerves out of
order, and the result Was shown In her
complexion
She quit coffee and began using Pos
tum Food Coffee and in less than a
month the stomach trouble disappeared
and within two months her complexion
cleared UP and is now fine and rosy.
She speaks of Mr. knight and Gid
con Hunt OF Westfieid, Ind. who have
both been improved in health by leav-
ling off coffee and taking in It's place
Postum Food Coffee also Mr.. and
Mrs. Jesse Stanley. of the same place,
who were in poor health and suffered
| from stomach trouble. They quit cof-
fee and after using Postum a short tint
the result was natural sleep. return OF
appetite, and gain in strength as fas
as nature will rebuild
She gives the names of number OF
other persons who have been helped by
leaving off coffee and taking Postum
Food Coffee.
1t is safe proposition that If any cot
fee user has stomach or nervous trouble
or bad complexion, he or she can ge'
rid Of the trouble by disseminating cot
fee and taking Postum Food Coffee. I
Is easy enough to prove the truth of thi
by making trial. Every flrst-class groce
sells Postum.
