THE TRICKS
Coffee Plays on Some.

1t hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts, for it is sometimes
humiliating to think of afterwards,
When | was a young girl | was a
lover Of coffee but was sick 50 much
the doctor told me to quit and | did.
but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink it again as he did
not think it was the coffee caused the
troubles.
80 l commenced 1t again and con-
tinued about 6 months until my
stomach commenced acting bad and
choking as If had swallowed some
thing the size of an egg. One doctor
said it was neuralgia and indigestion.
zone day I took a drive with my
husband three miles in the country
and drank O cup of coffee for dinner.
l thought sure | would die before |
got back to town to a doctor. l was
drawn double in the buggy and when
my husband hitched the horse to get
me out into the Doctors office, misery
came up In my throat and seemed to
shut my breath off entirely, then left
all in a flash and went to my heart.
The doctor pronounced it nervous
heart trouble and when | got home |
was so weak | could not sit up.
my husband brought my supper to
my bedside with a nice cup of hot cof-
fee, but l said: Take that back, dear,
/ will never drink another cup of cof-
fee if you gave me everything you are
worth, for it is just killing me- He
and the others laughed at me and
said:
"'The idea of coffee killing any
body
Well I said, 1T is nothing else
but coffee that is doing it,
"In the grocery one day my husband
was persuaded to buy a box of Postum
which he brought home and l made it
for dinner and we both thought how
good 1t was but said nothing to the
hired men and they thought they had
drank coffee until we laughed and told
them. Well we kept on with Postum
and it was not long before the color
came back to my cheeks and l got
stout and felt as good as l ever did in
my life. l have no more stomach
trouble and l know l owe it all to
Postum in place of coffee.
"My husband has gained good health
on Postum, as well as baby and I, and
we all think nothing is too good to
say about It," Name given by Postum
