Street Journal" The movement has

ofGoveTnoF Johnson and his insurance
commissioner. Whether this is the
best way of getting at this problem

grafters who have been bleeding it,
and then by increasing its efficiency.

II was unable TO hold my head up
straight, the tension Of the nerves
drew II TO one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as

friend suggested that possibly the cof-
foe we drank had something to do
with It, and advised that we quit II
and try Postum Coffee
I'VE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began TO improve and in
very short time both Of us were
entirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more. the headaches
ceased, the muscles in the back Of my
