TWO STEPS.
The Last One Helps the First.

A sick coffee drinker must take two
steps to be rid of his troubles and get
strong and well again.
The first is to cut off coffee abso-
lutely.
That removes the destroying ele-
ment. The next step is to take liquid
food (and that is Postum Food Coffee)
that has in it the elements nature re-
quires to change the blood corpuscles
from pale pink or white to rich red,
and good red blood builds good strong
and healthy cells in place of the
broken down cells destroyed by coffee.
With we'll boiled Postum Food Coffes
to shift to, both these steps are easy
and pleasant, The experience of a
Georgian proves how important both
are.
From 1872 to the year 1900 my wife
and | had both been afflicted with sick
or nervous headache and at times We
suffered untold agony. We were coffee
drinkers and did not know how to get
away from it for the naBit is hard to
quit.
But in 1900 ! read of a ease similar
to ours where Postum Coffee was used
in place of the old coffee and a COM
piete cure resulted, so | concluded to
get some and try it.
THE result was, after three days use
OF Postum in place OF the coffee
never had a symptom of the old
trouble and in five months had
gained from las pounds to 163 pounds.
my friends asked me almost daily
what wrought the change. My answer
always is, leaving cf coffee and drink
ing Postum in its place.
I'VE have many friends who have
been benefited by Postum.

A Soft Answer.

An lrishman was called upon to give
evidence in a shooting ARRAY.
Did you see the shot fired?" asked
the magistrate.
"No, sor; but I heard it." replied the
witness.
THAT is not satisfactory. Step
down"
AS the lrishman turned to go he
laughed, and was rebuked by the mag
~istrate, who told him it was contempt
of court.

There is no excuse for cropping in the

With the same devotion which has
marked their adherence to those prin-

In the morning the stomach contains
considerable quantity of mucus.

If food enters at this time the tena-

the food and the stomach necessary to
provoke the secretion of gastric juice
A glass of water taken before break
fast passes through the stomach into
the small intestines in continuous
and uninterrupted flow. 1t partially
distends the stomach; it thins and
washes out most of the tenacious mu
Gus; it increases the fullness of the
capillares of the stomach directly il
the water is warm and indirectly in a
reactionary way if it is cold. Care
must be taken not to take cold water
when the circulation. either local or
general. is so feeble as to make re-
action Improbable. We should not risk
it in an advanced age nor in the feeble
whether old or young. nor should it be
taken in local troubles like gastric

give warm or hot water. Tnc addition
of salt is very beneficial. London Fam
