CAME FROM COFFEE.
A Case Where the Taking of Morphine
Began With Coffee.

woman, Il was a great sufferer from
stomach, heart and liver trouble. For
terrible; it would be impossible TO
describe it. During the last three
years l had commissions from which
the only relief was the use Of NOR
phine.
Il had several physicians. nearly
all of whom advised me to stop drink
ing tea and coffee. but as | could talco
only liquid foods | felt | could not
live without coffee. ! continued drink.
ing it until | became almost insane,
my mind was affected, while my whole
nervous system was a complete
wreck. / suffered day and night from
thirst and as water would only make
me sick l kept on trying different
drinks until a friend asked me to try
Postum Food Coffee.
IL did so but it was some time be-
fore was benefited by the change.
my system was SO filled with coffee
poison. II was not long, however. be-
fore | could eat all kinds Of foods and
drink all the cold water wanted and
which my system demands. II is now
years have drank nothing but Pos
tum for breakfast and supper and tho
result has been that in place OF being
an invalid with my mind affected am
now strong, sturdy, happy and
healthy.
Il have a very delicate daughter
who has been greatly benefited by
drinking Postum, also a strong boy.
who would rather go without food for
his breakfast than his Postum. So
much depends on the proper cooking
Of Postum for unless it is boiled tho
proper length of time people will be
disappointed in Il. Those in the habit
of drinking strong coffee should make
the Postum very strong at first in
order to get strong coffee taste"
