Coffee ACTS the Jonah ana VIII Come
Up.
A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling In country parish In Iowa,
tells Of his coffee experience:
"My wife and l used coffee regular
ly for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper-always
the very best quality-package coffee
never could find place on our table.
I'm the spring of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
1T seemed to come from coffee
drinking but we could not decide.
In the following July, however.
she was attacked second time by
the vomiting. l was away from home
filling an appointment, at the time.
and on my return l found her very
low; she had literally vomited herself
almost to death, and 1t took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach.
81 had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved 1t, each time, by a resort to
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
ned me that the use Of coffee was at
the bottom Of our troubles. and SO we
stopped 1t forthwith and took on
Postum Food Coffee The old symp-
toms Of disease disappeared and dur
Ing the years that we have been
using Postum instead of coffee we
have never had recurrence of the
vomiting We never weary of Postum,

Tho immediate causes OF headaches
vary. but most OF them come from pooi
or poisoned blood. In ananlia the blood
fs scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way iu
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces. and the poison irritates
tha nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and tho grip, the poison
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headachc-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
