QUIT AND EAT.
Some Coffee Tales.

Show woman an easy, comfortable
and healthful way to improve her COM
pleXion and she is naturally interested
Coffee is. the one greatest enemy of
fair women, for in the most of cases
it directly affects the stomach produce
ing slight, and sometimes great conges-
ton of the liver and therefore caus-
ing the bile to be absorbed into the
system instead of going it's natural
way. The result is sallow, muddy
skin and a train of diseases of the
different organs of the body which, in
all too many cases, develop into
chronic diseases.
A lady speaking of how coffee affect
ed her says: Il was very fond of cof-
fee but while drinking it was under the
care of the doctor most of the time for
liver trouble and was compelled to take
blue mass a great deal of the time. My
complexion was bad and 1 had a pain
in my side steadily, probably in the
liver.
when concluded to quit coffee and
take Postum Food Coffee l had it made
carefully and from the very first cup
we liked the taste of it better than any
of the old coffee.
"In short time the pain left my side
and my friends began to comment on
the change in my complexion and gen.
eral looks. I have never seen anything
equal to the good 1 got from making
this change.
"A young lawyer in Philadelphia
named -. whose life was almost a
burden from indigestion and it's train
of evils, quit coffee some months ago
and began on Postum Food Coffee. He
quickly recovered and is now we'll.
strong and cheerful and naturally loud
in his praises of Postum.
Another friend, an old gentleman of
seventy, named --, who for years
suffered all one could suffer and live,
from dyspepsia, and who sometimes
for weeks could eat no bread or solid
food only a little weak cruel or milk,
quit coffee upon my recommendation
and took up Postum. He began to get
better at once Now he can eat rich
pastry or whatever he likes and is per-
fectly WELL"
