Their assertions are modest as COM

I'VE all believe that Wheat is the

Pillsbury's Vitos is nothing more

DUST THE DEMON.
A TussIe with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreoks it's flendish malice on those
who use it.
A lady writing from Calf. says:-
my husband and |, both lovers of
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. II my own case there was
eventually developed some sort of af-
lection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
II was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it TO one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as
to what caused the trouble, until a
friend suggested that possibly the cof-
Zee we drank had something to do
with it, and advised that we quit it
and try Postum Coffee.
1--WE 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
neck relaxed. my head Strengthened
up and the dreadful pain that had SO
punched me while used the old kind
Of coffee vanished.
1--WE have never resumed the use OF
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the
former beverage. And we are de-
lighted to find that we can give it
freely to our children also, something
we never dared to do with the old
kind Of coffee" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely
no drugs Of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug
