Interesting and Quaint Parallels That

Not the least interesting section OF
the proverbial philosophy of many peo-
Jles is that which we find quaint paral-

form or other nearly everywhere.
These. no doubt. have an Independent
origin, and their interest lies in the
fact that. while the same thoughts
among widely different peoples are mes

at a glance they frequently involve the
peclliarities Of their environment

look at some touches of nature which

Coffee Drinking Responsible.

Coffee Drinking Responsible.
"After a dinner party number OF
wears ago a physician made this state
ment. Coffee drinking is responsible
for more ills than any other one thing,
hut it is impossible for me TO make my
patients believe it.
Neither would I believe him, but
continued to drink my coffee with
sweet content. After time l became
aware of the fact that | was frequently
living awake nearly all night without
any apparent reason. and the morning
found me tired out and nervous.
The insomnia increased; then came
a dull pain at the base of the brain
and severe pressure at my heart My
outside work was given up, for could
hardly bear the little fatigue of the
day. Nervous prostration brought on
by overwork.' the doctor said. 1
thought of the words of old DR.. Bagley,
Coffee is the poison that is RESPONSE
ble.' ETC., etc.
II had heard of Postum Food Coffee
and determined to try It, The first cup
was so weak and fiat that it was not fit
to drink. The next time 1T was pre-
pared I looked after 1t myself to see
that the directions We're followed
properly. The result was revelation;
found 1t delicious beverage.
The cure was not wrought in day,
but little by little my nerves became
strong, the pain ceased, and again l
could sleep like a tired child
Il am now completely restored to
health by Postum Food Coffee used in
place of ordinary coffee, have regained
the fresh complexion of girlhood, and 1
can realize the truth of the old doctors
statement. l wish people could under
stand that truth before they permit
coffee to break them down.

have been restored to health by leav-
Ing off coffee and taking up Postum
