to take his advice and try Postum and

its beneficial effects convinced me Of

MY husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected his

shift to Postum and it was easy to get
him to make the change. for the Pos
tum is so delicious. 1t certainly worked
wonders for him.
! 1--WE soon learned that Postum does
not eahilarate or depress and does not

ach. To make a long story short, our
