of my trouble was, but just dragged
along from day to day suffering and
taking medicine all the time.
about six months ago I quit tea
and coffee and began drinking Postum,
and have not had my prescription
filled since, which is great surprise
to me, for it proves that coffee was
the cause of all my trouble, although
never suspected 1t. .s
when my friends ask me how I
| feel since I have been taking Postum,
I say, TO tell the truth, don't feel
at all, only that I get hungry and
eat everything want and lots of
! it and it never hurts me and am
happy and well and contented all the
time
| IT could not get my family to drink
| Postum for awhile until mixed 1t IN
a little coffee and kept on reducing
| the amount of coffee until got 1t all
Postum. Now they all like 1t and
they never belch it up like coffee.
I'VE all know that Postum is a sun
shine maker. I find 1t helps one great
! ly, for we do not have to think Of
aches and pains all the time and can
use our minds for other things.
