THE TEA PENALTY.
A Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from Il busy railroad town
the wife of an employe of one of the
great railroad says:
My husband is a railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the
use of Postum Food Coffee that he
wishes me To express his thanks to
you for the good you have done him.
His waking hours are taken up with
his work, and he has no time to write
himself.
He has been a great tea drinker ali
his life and has always liked it strong
Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. AT first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or so, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go TO his work in the morn
ing wretched and miserable from
the loss of rest. This condition grew
constantly worse, until his friends per
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
AT first he used Postum only
for breakfast. but as he liked
the taste of it, and it some
how seemed to do him good.
he added it to his evening meal
Then. as he grew better, he began TO
drink it for his noon meal, and now he
| viii drink nothing else at table. j.
| His condition is so wonderfully i'm
proved during these, four months that
ne could not be hired to give up Pos
tum and go back to tea. His nerves
have become steady and reliable once
more, and his sleep is easy, natural
and refreshing. He owes all this to
Postum for he has taken no medicine
and made no other change in his diet.
His brother, who was very nervous
from colfee-drinking. was persuaded
by us to give up the coffee and use
Postum, and he also. has recovered his
health and strength" Name given by
