A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE. Medicine Not Needed In This Case.

It is hard to convince some people that coffee does them an injuryi They lay their bad feelings to almost every cause but the true and unsuspected one,
 But the doctor knows; his wide experi- ence has proven to him that to some systems coffee is an insidious poison that undermines the health.
 Ask the doctor if coffee is the cause of constipation, stomach and nervous trou- bles.
 "I have been a coffee drnker all my life. l am now 42 years old and when taken sick two years ago with nervous prostration, my doctor said that my ner- vous system was broken down and that l would have to give up coffee I got so weak and shaky l could not work, and reading your advertisement of Postum Food Coffee, asked my grocer if he had any of it. He said, yes and that he used 1t in his family and it was all it claimed to be.
 So l quit coffee and commenced to use Postum steadily and found in about two weeks time, I could sleep soundly at night and get up in the morning feeling fresh and well. In about two months began to gain flesh. I only weighed 146 pounds when I commenced on Postum and now I weigh 167 and feel better than I did at 20 years of age
 I am working every day and sleep well at night. My two children were great coffee drinkers, but they have not drank any since Postum came into the house. and are far more healthy than they were before" Stewart M. Hall. Fairfield, w. Va
