1849 the firm built the large store that
stood for so many years on the site of
the Berry-Ba store and moved into it

for some years after the only house in
the neighborhood and separated from
Main street by ploughed field.
He continued in the mercantile busi-

last ten years his son, Frank N. Brown,
was in partnership with him, while to-
day the store is owned by the son and
grandson of the deceased. He had been
actively interested in municipal affairs,

conversation and on public occasions.
He never outgrew his youthful spirit and
the young children OF this generation as

The physician in charge shreWdly
suspected that coffee was the ''worm at
the root of the tree and ordered it
discontinued with instructions to use
Postum Food Coffee regularly in it's
place. r..
The wife says: tWe found that was
the true remedy for mis- stomach and
heart trouble. and we would have glad
ly paid hundred times the amount of
the doctors charge when we found how
wise his Judgment was.
'The use of Postum instead of coffee
was begun about a year ago, and it has
made my husband strong, well man.
He has gained thirty-five pounds in
that time, and his stomach and heart
trouble have all disappeared.
The first time I prepared it I did
not boil it long enough, and he said
there was something wrong with it.
