WASN'T CURED. Didn't Get Well of Anything.

'I spent three weeks with friend In Dayton last winter. She was using Pos tum Coffee exclusively as beverage at meals I said: I thought you were so fond of coffee that you could not be in- duced to give 1t up.' Well. my friend said, we got to liking this Postum Coffee, for it serves as a food as well as a bever- age, and we have all felt so much better since leaving off the old coffee
 "I learned to make the Postum and made 1t fine, so when I went home I be- gan to serve it to my husband instead of the old-fashioned coffee. About a week afterwards I asked him how he liked the coffee and told him l had been trying new kind. He says: I think 1t Is most excellent. Is it Mocha or Java or a mix ture? I told him that 1t was the famous Postum we had read so much about, and he most jumped from his chair in sur- prise, but the change has become a fix ture, and he will never give up Postum and go back to the old-fashioned coffee. for we not only like it better, but we feel so much better in every way" This lady s name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek. Mich.
