Artist OCRATS
Should be Allowed Good Things as
Well as Other People.

Chicago lady visiting friends in
Leon, n. y, heard her hostess say one
morning, "All of the aristocrats on
Allen Hill have discarded coffee and
are using Postum Food Coffee in its
place" 1t seems the doctor had ad-
vised the change as a remedy for differ
ent stomach and other disorders caused
by coffee drinking.
But when first made it l was care
less. 1t was only half boiled and
drowned in water, so husband, after
slipping it, pushed it back and said
no more of that stuff for me- l con-
cluded it was not properly made and
examined the package carefully, find
ing that it must be boiled Is or 20
minutes after the real boiling begins.
Next morning husband said You
don't mean to tell me this is the same
coffee you gave me yesterday, why
this is fine He drank two cups and
since that time we have used no other
coffee. and both of US have made a
decided Improvement in health.
Il had suffered for a long time from
dyspepsia, nervous prostration, poor
appetite and bowels, not knowing that
coffee was the cause of the trouble. Not
getting any coffee from my hostess, ex-
cept the Postum, l not only found it
delicious but my appetite improved,
the f1atnlence and stomach distress left
me and I quickly began to gain in
flesh. Now l am enjoying a degree of
health that 1 never expected to at
tain.
After l left home my brother who
has been an invalid for some time broke
down entirely. He was coffee drink
er. and had distress in his stomach al
ways after meals. Finally his stomach
refused to retain food at all, then the
doctor insisted on his leaving off coffee
and using Postum. He drank Postum
four times a day with rich cream and
some sugar and absolutely no other
food for several days, then he carefully
added other food in small Quantities
and gradually began to get well. He
now eats all kinds of nourishing foods
and is again working at his trade"

summer-who once, as she sat on the
doorstep beside me, thoughtfully
scratching her brown and mosquito
bitten legs, remarked
Sand flies and mosquitoes are GER
tainly bad enough, but it, we had
bosom flies mere l just couldn't stand
it,

earth are they?"

they must be something awful. We
sing about them in church. There's
something about hiding in old rocks

they draw blood"

the phoebe and kingbird, are attract
