MORE THAN HALF
Suffer from Coffee Drinking

Coffee does not set up disease with all people using it, on the other hand it absolutely does create disease in thousands and thousands of cases per- fectly we'll authenticated and traceable directly to coffee and nothing else.
 This statement may hurt the feelings of some coffee drinkers; but the facts are exactly what they are.
 Make inquiry of some of your coffee drinking friends and you may be cer- Iain of one thing, one half of them, yes more than half, suffer from some sort of incipient or chronic disease. If you want to prove it's the coffee, or would prefer to prove it is not the coffee in these cases, take coffee away from those persons for from ten days to a month, don't change the food in any other way, but give them Postum Food Coffee and the proof of whether coffee has been the trouble or not will be placed before you in unmistakable terms.
 A young lady in the St. Mary's Aca- demy, Winnepeg, Can. says. One of our teachers suffered long while from indigestion She was coffee drinker. She became worse steadily and finally was reduced to point where the stom- ach did not retain any food, then cleo tricity was tried but without avail. She of course, grew weak very fast and the doctor said the case was practically incurahle.
 About that time I was attracted to a statement in one of the papers regard ing the poisonous effect of coffee and the value of Postum Food Coffee. The statement was not extravagant, but couched in terms that won my confi- dence and aroused me to the belief that it was true. I persuaded our teacher to leave off the morning cup of coffee altogether and use Postum Food Coffee.
 "A change took place. She began to get better. She has now regained her strength and is able to eat almost every kind of food and has taken her position as teacher again." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
