It never occur red to me to attribute this to coffee until read an advertisement of yours last Fall describing a case similar to my own which lad received benefit from the use of Postum Cereal Food Coffee. I at once changed my breakfast beverage from Java and Mocha to Postum and the effect was nothing short of marvellous. After using 1t less than a week l was free from morning attacks and in six months all my nervous symptoms had disappeared.
 have demonstrated the fact that by following your directions in making Pos tum Food Coffee any one can obtain as rich a cup of coffee from Postum as from any of the imported brands, and may rest assured that they will escape the injurious effects of coffee and experience much benefit from the use of Postum.

This is the large three-story negro school just beyond the railroad. and one of the most prosperous colored institutions of learning in the State.
