he HITS HARD.
Good. Old King Coffee.

People don't realize what a savage
tyrant coffee is. 1t gets the upper hand
and one of the reasons it maintains it's
power is that people do not believe that
coffee is doing the deadly work, but
they wake up once in while.
A lady in Norfolk, Va, writes an in
teresting experience. Some months
ago friend who was calling asked if
wanted to read sweet letter, and as
read it she brushed her tears away. 1t
was from a beautiful Christian woman,
the mother Of her husband.
1.-The doctor had told her that they
could not give her any encouragement,
that she would never be well again,
and in her sweet, Christian way she
wrote regarding her approaching
death. saying she had relinquished all
hopes and was quietly awaiting the
coming of the grim reaper.
THE husband sent for his mother
who was just able to be moved. When
| called found she was suffering from
a most aggravated stomach and bowel
trouble, being in pain most of her time,
and she could hardly retain enough
Lourishment to keep her alive although
she was always hungry and craving
food, but not daring to touch it because
of the agony it brought her.
II found she was a coffee drinker and
insisted that she quit the coffee and
take Postum Food Coffee with some
Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food. / had
gone through a wonderful experience
myself and knew the value of both
Postum and Grape Nuts.
Il went right to work and made her
a cup of Postum the first thing. which
she drank and liked it wonderfully
well. She made the change and. began
to improve in few days. She has
gradually gotten better and better,
ard. of course, have been much in
terested in her recovery.
"a short time ago l met her
daughter-in-law and asked how her
mother was getting on. She said, Won
derfully well. She is a new woman
She has entirely recovered her health
and spirits, and just to think it was by
The simple act of leaving off that poi
sonous coffee and taking on Postum
Feed Coffee and Grape Nuts Breakfast
Food" ~
This letter was written by Mrs. NJ. L.
EggIeston of Post Norfolk, Va. There
is 4 wonderful lesson that thousands
of people can learn, that of leaving off
1ercotics and poisonous drugs like
coffee and using plain, natural liquid

dyspepsia and disordered digestion.

dyspepsia and disordered digestion.
Almost everybody's digestion is
disordered more or less, and the COM
monest thing they do for it is to take
some one of the many so-called blood
purifiers. which in many cases are
merely strong cathartics. Such things
are not needed. If the organs are in a
clogged condition, they need only a
little help and they will right them
selves. Cathartics irritate the sensi-
tive Innings of the stomach and bowels
and often do more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in condi-
ton to be readily digested and assimi-
lated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
just the help it needs. They stimulate
the secretion and excretion Of the d.
gestive fluids and relieve the congested
condition of the glands and membranes
They put the whole digestive system in
condition to do its work. When that is
done you need to take no more tablets,
unless you eat what does not agree
with you. Then take one or two tab
lets-give them needed help and you
will have no trouble.
1t is a common sense medicine and a
common sense treatment and it will
cure every time. Not only cure the
disease but cure the cause. Goes about
it in perfectly sensible and scientific
way.
We have testimonials enough to fill
a book. but we don't publish many of
them. However,
Mrs. E. M. Faith of Byrds Greek,
Wis, says: Il have taken all the Tab
lets I got of you and they have done
their work well in my case, for 1 feel
like different person altogether. /

should have been at rest by this time. {
