A man who was sent to Europe for
MS health and finally found cure in
Il little change in his diet says:
Il was troubled with dyspepsia for
five years, and two doctors here in
Nenosha that treated me for over a
year bOth told me there was no help
Tor me. Then l had an expert from
Chicago but still received no relief;
Their followed another expert from
Chicago who came to our house two
times n month for four months. He
gave me up like all the others and told
me to take a trip across the ocean,
which l did in the year 1900 and came
home about as bad as when / started.
The doctors told me my stomach lin
ing was full of sores. Then l began to
study my w case and learned of the
diet recommended by the Postum Ger
cal Co.. SO l gave up coffee. pork and
all greasy foods and began using
Postum Food Coffee. Gradually l got
better and better until l am we'll now
as l ever was in my younger days,
have no trouble and eat anything fit
to eat.
sometimes away from home / am
persuaded to drink coffee. but l only
take a sip of it, for it tastes bitter and
disagreeable to me. but the longer 1
use Postum the better l like it and the
better 1 feel. l could say a great deal
more of my experience with Postum,

The Art of Clear Dictation.

New YORK sun: Few people think

order. even OF the mel whose trained
intellectual ability is made manifest
in their deliberate writings. In dictat-
ed judicial opinions and legal docu-
ments there now often appear redun-
dancy. complexity of thought and care.
sssness OF expression. of which the
burden al Interpretation is great; and
sometimes the separation of wheat
from the chaff is next to impossible.
Moreover. we discover in many con-
temporary literary productions, books
and what not. ike evidences that they
were dictated by men who had not
mastered the art. The difference be-
tween written ana dictated work is
made apparent in The absence of any
ching like Individuality of literary style

which there is no more literary style
