SWEET BREATH.
When Coffee is Left Off.


A test was made to find if just the
duce an equal condition of health ar
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 year
ago left off drinking coffee and tea
and began to use Postum. For several
years previous my system had been in
wretched condition. 1 always had a
thickly furred, bilious tongue and fou;
breath often accompanied with severe
headaches. I was troubled all the time
with chronic constipation so that was
morose in disposition and almost dis
couraged.
"At the end of the first week after
making the change from coffee to Post
UNI l witnessed marvellous change in
myself. My once coated tongue cleared
off, my small appetite increased breath
became sweet and the headaches
ceased entirely. One thing l wish to
state emphatically, you have in Postum
a virgin remedy for constipation, for
certainly had about the worst case ever
known among mortals and I am COM
pletely cured of it. feel, in every way,
like a new person.
During the last summer concluded
that I would experiment to see if the
Postum kept me in good shape or
/ had gotten we'll from just
leaving off coffee. So quit Postum for
quite time and drank cocoa and wa
ter. I found out, before two weeks
were past, that something was wrong,
and began to get costive as of old. It
was evident the liver was not working
properly, SO became convinced it was
not the avoidance Of coffee alone that
cured me but the great value came
from the regular use of Postum
