Doctor Wa. Firm and Was R;oht.


Many doctors forbid their patients to
drink coffee but the patients still drink
1t on the sly and thus spoil all the
doctors efforts and keep themselves
sick Sometimes the doctor makes
sure that the patient Is not drinking
coffee and there was case Of that
kind in st. Paul where business man
said:
After a very severe illness last win
ter which almost caused my death the
doctor said Postum Food Coffee was the
only thing that I could drink and he
Just made me quite coffee and drink
Postum. My illness was caused by
Indigestion from the use Of tea and
coffee.
The state OF my stomach was SO
bad that 1t became terribly inf1amed
and finally resulted in rupture. I
had not drank Postum very long be-
fore my lost blood was restored and
my stomach was we'll and strong and
l have now been using Postum for
almost a year When got up from bed
after my illness l weighed IS pounds
and now my weight is 100.
There is no doubt that Postum was
the reason for this wonderful improve
ment and shall never go back to tea
or coffee but shall always stick to the
food drink that brought me back to
health and strength" Name given by
