She Used Giron Merely to
Obtain Freedom

with NJ. Giron was condemned. She
says:
When fed, I expected all the world
would applaud me as a courageous

a heroine. My God! You see how ter

Of coffee II one values health and a
steady brain.
She says: AT the time Postum was
first put on the market I was suffering
from nervous dyspepsia and my physi-
clan had repeatedly told me not to use
his advice and try Postum and got a
sample and had II carefully prepared,
finding IL delicious to the taste So
continued its use, and very soon fits
beneficial effects convinced me of its
value, for I got well Of my nervousness
and dyspepsia.
My husband had been drinking coffee
nerves terribly / persuaded him to
shift TO Postum and 1t was easy TO get
him 20 make the change, for the Postum
Is so delicious. 1t certainly worked
wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress, and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
To make q long story short. our entire
family have now used Postum for eight
years with completely satisfying re-
suits, as shown In our fine condition OF
health and We have noticed a rather
unexpected Improvement in brain and

The report states in regard TO the gem

In August, 1898, many inmates were
similarly afflicted, and the superinten-

lay at the point of death In 1901 a
large percentage of the population was

August or early in September, occurred
an outbreak. for which no sufficient
cause could be discovered; when a larger
