SWEET BREATH.
When Coffee Is Left Off.

test was made to find if just the
leaving off of coffee alone would produce
an equal condition of health as when
coffee is left off and Postum Food Coffee
used in it's place.
A man from Clinton. Wis. made the
experiment. He says: About a year
ago l left off drinking coffee and tea and
began to use Postum. For several years
previous my system had been in wretch
ed condition. / always had a thickly
furred, bilious tongue and foul breath,
often accompanied with severe head
aches. 1 was troubled all the time with
chronic constipation, so that l was mo-
rose in disposition and almost discour-
aged.

making the change from coffee to Pos
tum / witnessed a marvellous change in
myself. My once coated tongue cleared
off, my appetite increased, breath be-
came sweet and the headaches ceased
entirely. One thing l wish to state en-
phatically, you have in Postum a virgin
remedy for constipation for certainly
/ had about the worst case ever known
among mortals and I am completely
cured of it. 1 feel in every way like a
new person.
During the last summer l concluded
that / would experiment to see if the
Postum kept me in good shape or whether
I had gotten well from just leav-
ing off coffee. So quit Postum for quite
time and drank cocoa and water. I
found out before two weeks We're past
that something was wrong and 1 began to
get costive as of old 1t was evident the
liver was not working properly, so 1 be-
came convinced it was not the avoidance
of coffee alone that cured me, but the
great value came from the regular use
