A COFFEE SWORD.
The Old Things Would Bob Up


Coffee puts it's sword into people first
one place and then another. You may
depend upon 1t, if you are coffee
drnker, and have ailments in some of
the organs of the body, that coffee is
doing it's work. You may prove wheth-
er it is or not by leaving 1T off for ten
days or two weeks, altho it often takes
from nine months to two years to re-
cover from effects.
Mr.. j. w. Ashby, Mt. Airy, N. c..
says: 81 was a coffee drinker for twen-
ty-five years. About three years ago 1
suffered greatly with pains in the re-
gion of my heart and the pit of my
stomach. These pains appeared about
the same time each day.
II wondered IL coffee might not be the
fault so began the test of leaving off
coffee. The pains ceasde, but when
began to use coffee again the same old
pains would bob up l have now been
using Postum for some time in place of
coffee and am entirely cured of the old
neuralgia of the stomach and heart.
Respectfully"
