hesitated to give their testimonials to
proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true today of most pro-
prietary medicines But Peruna has
become SO justly famous, its merits ar,
known to so many people of high and
low stations, that no one hesitates tc
see his name in print recommending
Peruna,
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna ii strong endorsement
Men representing all classes and sta

FLASH OF LIGHT.
The Coffee Facts Came to Her.

Coffee is so often unsupported in the
work it does in the human body that IL
Illustrations of this kin are interesting.
A lady in West Townsend, Mass,
says: Il did not begin drinking coffee
until ] was an adult. Not very long
after I commenced I began to have
headaches and a duh, heavy, stupid
feeling. These symptoms grew worse
until l was i'll, but l a no suspicion
that coffee was the cause of the trouble.
Il could not get up any strength, and
after dragging around half sick for
some time / was sent Off on a visit to
see If the change would do me good. I
soon began to feel better n at the
end of three weeks felt prfectly well
again.
Before leaving I had a long talk with
my friend as to the cause of my getting
better. l had taken no medicine OF any
kind, and the foo was about the same
as at home. the coffee was particularly
rich, strong and palatable. l compli-
mented her on the coffee and asked
what kind she used. She told me Pos
tum,' which l absolutely could not be-
lieve. / had enjoyed it so much n it
agreed with me so perfectly, but l had
always had an idea that Postum Food
Coffee was a flat-tasting, insipid drink
and was only used by people who could
not drink the old-fashioned coffee.
MY friend said she had been using 1t
for two years, because when she drank
the old-fashioned coffee il kept her sick
half the time. Then 1t dawned on me
like a flash of light that the old
Fashioned coffee was the cause OF my
trouble and sickness and that leaving 1t
off and using Postum for three weeks
had made me we'll.
When I went home I told mother of
the change. She saw how round and
fat 1 had crowns and said, You can have
Postum at home; we have a package in
the house that 1 tried once. but 1t
tasted so fiat that | Went back to the

make it: Mrs. - said it must be
made according to directions and must
be boiled at least fifteen or twenty min
utes after the boiling begins, and If we
can make it as good as she does you
will be astonished at it.
We'll, she was astonished and from
that time to this we have left the old
fashioned coffee off the table and used
Postum altogether. Mother Is better,
my headaches n sick feelings have
never returned. There is no doubt but
that coffee is a poison to us and Postum
is the cause of our comfort health"
