WHISKEY VS.. COFFEE.
A Woman Experiments.

some families have sad experiences
with whiskey. Probably twice as many
families have sickness and distress
caused by coffee and the cause not sus-
pected half the time.
A woman from Tacoma Wash says:
zone OF our family had become so i'll
that the doctor finally pronounced him
incurable from enlarged liver. He rec
commended a sea voyage which might
prolOng his life but said IL was only
question OF time when he would die
from the disease.
He was drsadfully nervous, thin. could
not sleep at night, lost flesh and
strength daily and everything he ate
or drank soured en- his stomach. He
was so weak and faint he could hardly
walk about
finally came 20 the conclusion that
coffee made the mischief. 50 took coffee
away from him altogether and next
morning gave him Postum Food Coffee.
He steadily began TO get better and has
never had a sour stomach from that
time. He now sleeps all night where
he used TO suffer the agonies OF death.
He has gained over 20 pounds and Is
well and strong
Ny little boy was given coffee at an
early age and he began 20 have spells
OF sickness at times / did not suspect
the trouble until my experience with
Postum opened my eyes, then l took
CCuee away from nllu anu gave MN
Postum steadily. II you should see
him now and see how well and strong
he Is you would not believe IL was the
same puny boy he was when he was
drinking coffee.
An acquaintance Of ours carried
Postum with him TO the gold fields Of
Alaska lie says he met some men up
there who had run out of Postum and
could not drink coffee. They offered
him as high as $50 a pound for the
Postum. He saiC IL was worth $40 n
pound TO him for IL gave him strength
TO endure the hardsh.ps and that he
would not part with it at any price
until till he could get more.
Now about my own case. Il was a
sick, nervous woman and did not sus-
pect il Was coffee. but from the eXper-
fence / had gained about two years
ago. ! quit coffee and took up Postum
Food Coffee. Ny appetite improved. /
can eat anything, have no indigestion,
and have gained about 40 pounds in the
two years.

affected by coffee drinking that he was
going blind The doctor suspected coffee
