a NEW TEXT.
Southern Preacher Gives Food for
Thought.

Coffee works in many different and
unsuszected ways. Mr. E. L. Wesson,
pastor of Baptist church, of Sardis,
Miss. writes:
II loved coffee from my infancy, and
never knew of 1t hurting me until was
49, years old. 1 suffered with headaches
if forced to 90 without it, and some
times used it three times a day, but
headache had been one of the ills of
our family, and therefore I thought it
was an inherited evil for which coffee
was a special remedy, but about nine
years ago I began to suffer from sleep
lessness, which continued until it seemed
as if my nerves would wreck for want OF
sleep, and yet 1 could not sleep
A friend suggested that 1, quit coffee
except for breakfast, which 1 did, and
so found that I could sleep little bet
ter but my headaches continued, and
MY nervous system would sometimes
seem as if the very fibres of my flesh
were moving within me. 1t went on
until three years ago I began to suffer
at night with an itching sensation on
my limbs below nv knees and on my
arms below the elbows, and sometimes
all over my body, but there was no
eruption on the skin; the flesh was
good physicians, but with no avail.
I had no idea that the coffee / crank
in the morning caused it, but finally de-
cided to stop coffee for while, and try
Postum Food Coffee. Wife made it
according to directions, so that 1 liked
it equally as well as coffee 1 had no
idea that it would relieve the awful itch
ing deep down in my flesh. but thought
1 would try it to see if there was any
virtue in it. 1 lad used it only q few
days when I discovered that the itch
ing was not so severe. When 1 had used
it ten days. my wife said. What is the
matter with your You do not seem to
be troubled with that itching sensation.
1 told her that I did not know what was
the cause, but 7 Knew trat l was not
troubled with the itching any more and
was thankful for it.
! then went over to preach in another
town, and while there drank some
strong coffee. and the itching returned
When I came back home [ commenced
using Postum again, and the itching
ceased Then 7 decided that coffee in
some way produced the itching. 1 drink
Postum three times a day, and rest as
well as ever rested. and never have
/ headaches am more. I believe that
hundreds of preachers who suffer from
indigestion. nervousness and worry
would find rest and health if they would
&QUit coffee and use Postum"
