A BACK LICK
SETTLED THE CASE WITH HER.

MANY great discoveries have been made by acci-
dent and things better than gold mines have been
found in this way, for example, when even the
accidental discovery that coffee Is the real cause
Of ones sickness proves Of most tremendous value
because IT locates the cause and the person has
then a chance to get well.
For over 20 years" says Missouri woman.
II suffered untold sgonies In my stomach, and
even the physicians disagreed as to the cause
without giving me any permanent help, different
saying 1t was gastritis, indigestion neu-
ralgia etc, l dragged along from year to year,
always half sick, until finally gave up all hopes
OF being well again
when taking dinner with friend one day she
said she had a new drink which turned out to be
Postum, and liked it well l told her !
thought I would stop coffee for awhile and use II,
which did.
80 for three months we had Postum in place Of
coffee without ever having one OF my old spells,
but was always healthy and vigorous instead
Husband kept saying he was convinced 1t was
coffee that caused those spells, but even then
wouldn't believe II until one day got out OF
Postum and as we lived two miles from town
thought to use the coffee we had in the house.
THE result Of weeks use OF coffee again was
that l had another terrible spell of agony and
distress, proving that 1t the coffee and moth
ing else. That settled It, and said goodbye to
coffee forever. and since then Postum alone has
been our hot meatime drink.
MY friends all say l am looking worlds better
and my complexion is much improved All the
other members OF family have been benefited,
too by Postum in place of the old drink. coffee. -
Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich
Ten days trial OF Postum In place Of coffee or
tea is the wise thing for every coffee drinker Such
trial tells the exact truth often where coffee is
not suspected
