OLD FOaY KNEW.
Experience Teaches People.

My parents considered coffee simply a harmless beverage for old and young so when a mere baby 1 commetced to drink it, and when 1 reached woman- hood, found myself troubled with nerv- olsness, headache and an irritable temper and to obtain relief, drank more and more coffee, thus adding fuel to the fire.
 I grew worse until life was one black night of pain. My nerves were shatter- ed, body wrecked with suffering, my stomach gave out and utterly refused to digest the most simple foods, and finally I lay for weeks starving and longing for food, but unable to eat more than just enough to keep me alive.
 While in this state. my next door neigh Dor brought in a fragrant cup that l supposed was some new grade of coffee, and althought I had suffered so terribly from its effects, the temptation was tco strong to resist. and I drank 1t with rel ish. I noticed it had a rich agreeable taste and I drank 1t without distress. She repeated the kindness two or three mornings.
 I began to congratulate myself that it was not coffee that hurt me after all. was assuring my friend of this one uay when she astonished me by saying that I was not drinking cOnee, but a pu- 2 rood drink called Postum Food Coffee. made from nourishing grain for building up the system and nerves instead of tear ing them down.
 then began to drink Postum regu- larly. and to get well slowly but surely. Today am a strong. hearty woman my nervous system Is entirely rebuilt and with a reserve force of strength in time of need; I sleep well and awake refresh ed and feel bright for each days task, with no indigestion or stomach trouble, and a good. strong active brain ready for any mental strain or toll There is no doubt on earth that coIee nearly killed me.
 A friend of mine was obliged to resign her position as school teacher. because of extreme nervousness caused by coffee drinking induced her to use Postum in place of coffee. and at the end of four months she began teaching again, her nervousness gone and feeling and look ing ten years younger; her sallow com piexion having become beautiful, healthy hloom.' Name given by Postum Co, Battle Greek. Mleh.

IT IS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking
 When Using Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh Is the short route to consump- ton, and the importance of early and 1udicious treatment of catarrh, whether located in the head. throat or bronchial tubes. cannot be too strongly empha- sized.
 The list of catarrh cures Is as log as the moral law and the forms in which they are administered. numerous and con- fusing, from sprays, inhalers. washes ointments, and salves to powders liquids and tablets.
 The tablet form Is undoubtedly the most convenient and most effective, but with nearly all advertised catarrh remedies 1t is almost entirely a matter of guess work as to what you are taking into your sys- tenn as the proprietors. while making all sorts of claims as to what their medi- Cines will do, always keep 1t a close Se- cret as to what they are.
 The success and popularity of the new catarrh cure, Stuarts Catarrh Tablets is largely because 1t not only cures ca tarrh but because catarrh sufferers who used these tablets know what they gre taking into their systems. Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets being composed of Red Gum, Blood Root and similar valuable and antiseptic ingredients, and are pleas ant to the taste and being dissolved in the mouth they take immediate effect upon the mucous lining of the throat. nasal passages and whole respiratory tract.
 The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have accomplished in old chronic cases of catarrh are little short of remarkable, and the advantage of knowing what you are putting into your stomach is of para mount importance when it js remembered that the cocaine or morphine habit has haep frAauRutlV pOnfFactad tba result of using secret catarrh remedies.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets meet with cordial approval from physicians, because their antiseptic character render them perfectly safe for the general public to use and their composition makes them common sense cure for all forms of ca taTrhal troubles.
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full stKsd packages thu-sat-su
