SWEET BREATH
When Coffee Is Left OF.


a test was made to find If Just the
leaving of Of coffee alone would pro-
duce an equal condition Of health as
when coffee is left of and Postum Food
Coffee used in its place
4 man from Clinton, Wis, made the
experiment He says: About year
ago I left OF drinking coffee and tea
and began to use Postum For several
years previous my system had been in
wretched condition. I always had
thickIy furred, bilious tongue and foul
breath. often accompanied with severe
headaches I was troubled all the time
with chronic constipation, so that
was morose in disposition and almost
discouraged.
At the end of the first week after
making the change from coffee TO Pos
tum : witnessed 2 marvellous change il
myself Ny once coated tongue cleared
off. my appetite increased, breath be
came sweet. and the headaches ceased
entirely One thing I wish 10 state
emphatically, you have IN Postum a viz
gin remedy for constipation, for I GER
tainly had about the worst case ever
known among mortals. and I am com
pletely cured of it. I feel in every
way Ike new person.
During the last summer I concluded
that ! would experiment to see If the
Postum kept NE in good shape or
whether I had gotten well from just
leaving of coffee. So I quit Postum for
quite a time and drank cocoa and water
I found out before Two weeks were past
that something was wrong and I began
to get cosllve as Of old. l. was evil
dent the liver was not working properly.
so l became convinced it was not the
avoidance of coffee alone taat cured me.
bus the great value came from the regu-
lar use OF Postum.
