It's Easy to Shake Off the Coffee
Habit

It's Easy to Shake Off the Coffee
Habit.
There are many people who make the
.humiliating Acknowledgment that they
are dependent upon coffee to brace
them up" every little while. These
have never learned the truth about Pos
ing off coffee simple matter and
brings health and strength in place OF
coffee ills. A lady of Davenport, Iowa,
who has used Postum Food Coffee for
five years, is competent to talk upon
the subject. She says:
II am school teacher and during
extra work, when thought ! needed to
be braced up, used to indulge in rich,
strong coffee, of which / was very fond
and upon which / thought l was de-
pendent
II began to have serious heart palpi-
tation and at times had sharp pains
around the heart and more or less
stomach trouble / read about Postum
and got some to try. l dropped coffee,
took up the Postum and 1T worked such
wonders for me that many of my
friends took 1T up.
"In a short time I was well again,
even able to attend evening socials.
And | did not miss my coffee at all.
Now can truthfully say that l have
been repaid fully for the change made.
I have no indications o. heart disease
and not once in the past four years
have I had a sick headache or bilious
spell.
INV father, rs years old, is a Postum
enthusiast and feels ...at his good
health in large measure is due to the
six cups of good Postum which he en-
joys each day." Name furnished by the
Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich.
