IN COLONIES TOWN
Things Happen.

From the home of the famous 'keyh-
mel keeyartah of Gainesville" away
down South, comes an enthusiastic let
ter about Postum.
Il was il very delicate health, suf-
fering from indigestion and a nervous
trouble SO severe that l could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis
continue the use of the old kind Of cot
fee, which was like poison to me, pro-
ducing such extreme disturbance that
1 could not control myself. But such
was my love for it that could not get
my own consent to give it up for some
time, and continued to suffer, till my
father one day brought home pack
age of Postum Food Coffee.
81 had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave it fair trial. 1t proved to have
a rich favor and made a healthy,
wholesome and delightful drink. To.
my taste the addition Of cream great
ly improves it.
my health began to improve as
soon as the drug effect of the old coffee
was removed and the Postum Coffee
had time to make its influence felt
My nervous troubles were speedily re-.
lieved and the sleep which the old cof-
fee drove from my pillow always
came to soothe and strengthen me
after I had drunk Postum-in very
short time began to sleep better than
l had for years before. l have now
used Postum Coffee for several years
and like it better and find 1t more
beneficial than when I first began. 1t
is an unspeakable joy to be relieved of
the old distress and sickness" Name
