Wife Poll In Love with Husband "Ali
Over Apaiu,p

Over Again."
The wife of a well-known attorney
at law of Seward, Neb., tells the tale
worth reading: My husband was n
soldier in the Civil War. and was as
lie called himself, AN old coffee cooler
and had always drank very strong
coffee.
About year ago lie complained of
feeling of failltness every time after
climbing his office stairs and was also
troubled by terrible heada ches that al
most drove him wild
"IIe gradually grew weaker and
weaker until his alIliction eliminated
in nervous collapse, and for weeks he
seemed TO be fading away from us in
spite of al our efforts.
The physicians pronounced him
strong and we'll. with no organic trou-
bic whatever, and there seemed to be
nothing the matter except the com
pletc giving out of his nervous system.
The doctors decided that coffee was
at the bottom of all his trouble and
ordered Postum Cereal in its place. He
improved daily since he quit coffee and
began drinking Postum, and now says
he feels better than he has felt for 20
years, headaches are gone. no more
fainting spells. and is gaining in flesh
every day, and he seems SO much
younger and heartier and happier than
he has for years that | have fallen in
love with him over again.
"Now for my brothers case; few
years ago he had peculiar trouble.
His tongue was swollen and sore at the
roots and covered underneath with
testers.
"He thought his aflliction was of a
cancerous nature and his doctor was OF
the same opinion. He could scarcely
eat anything and became so poor and
run down he was simply nervous
wreck. He consulted various physi-
clans, but none were able to diagnose
his case or help him in the least.
"At last a doctor TO whom he ap-
piled said he believed my brother was
coffee poisoned and advised him to quit
coffee and drink Postum. He gave him
ITO Heuicille, pul lolu uilH 10 give
Postum fair trial and return to him in
weeks. My brother had used Postum
only aboat ten days when the testers
disappeared from his tongue, and at
the end of two weeks the soreness and
swelling were gone and he began to
pick up In flesh and spirits.
HE has never touched coffee since,
out drinks Postum all the time and
has never had the slightest return Of
the trouble.
ITO look at my experience is 1t any
wonder can write heartfelt testi-
monial for Postum Name given by
