AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffcs since 1t came upon the
HSket eight years ago knows from
sea fSience the necessity of using Pos
tuIy An place Of coffee If one values
hes- n and steady brain.
She says: "At the time Postum was
nrst put on the market I was suffer-
Ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally l de-
cided to take his advice and try Pos
tum and got sample and had it care
fully prepared, finding it delicious to
the taste. So l continued its use and
very soon its beneficial effects con-
WINGED me of its value, for got well
OF my nervousness and dyspepsia.
My husband had been drinking cof-
fec all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. I persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to 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 hon.
estly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach. To make a long story short
our entire family have now used Pos
tum for eight years with completely
Satisfying results as shown in our
hne condition Of health, and we have
noticed a rather unexpected improve
ment In brain and nerve power"

support upright standards, which are
suitably braced to give greater rigid
ity to the under frame. The body of
the vehicle is supported from each
standard by means of helical springs,
which are inclined inwardly toward
the center of the carriage body, thus
exerting radial pulls to prevent lateral
swaying without interfering with their
vertical yielding movement.

VAS SElINE.

Everybody knows the great value of this
remedy in the household, but everybody
does not know that the limitations of it,
which some second class druggists dishon-
prably palm off on their customers, have
little or.no value. What should be under
stood by tho public is, that it is not a mere
question of comparative value between
f"Vaseline" and the limitations, but that the
Initiation do not effect the wonderful heal
ing results Of the world renowned "Vase-
line" and that they are not the same thing
nor made in the same way. Besides this,
many of the limitations are harmful, irri-
Rant and not safe to use, while true Vase
Ane is perfectly harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies In buying
only original bottles and other packages put
up by the Chesebrough Manufacturing Co.
