POSTUM CEREAL.
FIXED THE MINISTER.
And He Needed Looking After.

''In a minister's family in Los Angeles,
where I was visiting some time ago, the
wife complained Of serious indigestion
and dyspepsia She admitted that she
used coffee and said she more than half
believed that was the trouble. told her
that knew it was the trouble, for had
gone through with the experience myself
and had only been cured when left off
coffee and took up Postum Food Coffee.
"She said she had tried the Postum, both
for herself and her husband but they did
not like IT. With her permission. I made
Postum next morning myself, and boiled
Il full fifteen minutes after the real boil
ing Of the pot began. Then when IL was
served it was a rich, deep brown color and
had the true flavor and food value that
every Postum maker knows. It is all fol-
Iy to talk about trying to make Postum
with one or two minutes sleeping.
You can't get something good for moth
ing. It must be boiled. boiled, boiled, and
TO keep it from boiling over use a small
Jump Of butter, perhaps twice the size of a
pea That morning the minister and his
wife liked Postum so well that their
whcle lives were changed on the question
Of diet and they abandoned coffee at once
and for all time.
Now. after a hard days work, they are
comforted, refreshed and rested by q cup
Of well-made Postum for supper. They
are both enthusiastic in its praise. The

sent on June 10.
Gilkey and his attorney, F. w. Allander,
and Mrs. Northam and her attorney, E.

Doctors Mystified.

woman is sick disease peculiar to her sex is
fast developing her system She goes to her family
physician and tells him story but not the whole story
She holds something back, loses her head becomes
agtaed forgets what she wants to say and finally
ceas what she ought to have told and thus completely
mystifes the doctor.
Is it any wonder therefore, that the doctor fails to
cure the disease9 STILL cannot blame the woman for

and being woman, it easy for her aing sisters to
pour into her every detail of their suffering
In this way she able do them the ply
sicans unable to do simply because she had the
proper information to work upon and from the little group
of women who sought her advice years ago. great army
of her fellow beings to-day constantly applying for
advice and relief and the fact that than hundred
thousand of them have been successfully treated by Mrs
Pnkham during the last year is indicative of the grand
results which produced by her unequaed experience
and training.
No physician in the world has had such training or
has such amount of information at hand to assist the
treatment of all kinds of female ils from the simplest
local irritation to the most complicated diseases of the

This, therefore, is the why Mrs Pinkham in

There is a strong talk of the con-

IMPORTANT INSURANCE DECISION
United States Court Rules Out Pay
ment By Note

The Boston Transcript" of Saturday
says: The United States circuit court
of appeals sent down a decision Friday
reversing the judgment of the circuit
court and setting aside the verdict
which was for the plaintiff in the case
OF Marion H. Simmons VS.. the Mutual
Reserve Fund association. The suit
was on a policy of insurance obtained
by George w. Simmons, who died in
February 1898. The verdict in the cir
cult court was for $16.190 and it is set
aside. 1t appears that Simmons took
out the policy through one White an
agent of the defendant, in Boston. No
money was paid at the time of the de-
livery of the policy but Simmons gave
his note for the premium to White
The policy which Simmons received
stated in large type that it did not at
tach until the premium was paid in
cash. 1t further appeared that Sim
mons had arranged with White to adj
vance the corporation on his (Sim-
monss) account 30 per cent of the pre-
MUM. it being the practice of the COM
pany to permit agents to retain 65 per
cent. There was no evidence, however,
that the comP>,y ever assented to it's
agent receiving payment of any por-
ton of the premium in anything other
than cash. Immediately after the death
Of Simmons the defendant learned the
facts with reference to the non-pay-
ment of the premium by him in cash
and cancelled the transaction SO far as
II could. The court in it's opinion says
rhe record fails to show that anybody
e5er paid. or agreed to pay, the entire
premium called for by the policy, eth
er in cash or otherwise. so that the pol
icy never attached
