ABANDONED IT, For the Old Fashioned Coffee Was
 Killing.

T always drank coffee with the rest of the family. for 1t seemed as if there was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table.
 had been troubled some time with my heart. which did not feel right This trouble grew worse steadily.
 Sometimes 1t would beat fast and at other times very slowly. so that would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast, and if walked up a hill, 1t gave me a severe pain.
 had no idea of what the trouble was until a friend suggested that perhaps 1t might be caused by coffee drinking. tried leaving of the coffee and began drinking Postum Cereal Food Coffee The change came quickly. I am now glad to say that am entirely well of the heart trouble and attribute the cure to leaving of coffee and the use of Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
 A number of my friends have aban- doned the Sd fashioned coffee and have taken up with Postum. which they are using steadily. There are some people that make Postum very weak and taste less. but if 1t is boiled long enough. ac- cording to directions, 1t is a very delic- ious beverage. We have never used any of the old-fashioned coffee since 1t was first started in our house." Mrs. L. A. Smith. Blodgett Mills. Cortland Co. N. K.
