young giant state in the Northwest

to coffee till left off drinking it. For
three or four years | was obliged to
take a nerve tonic every day. Now
l am free, thanks to Postum Food
Coffee.
after finding out what coffee will
do to its victims, could hardly stand
to nave my husband drink it; but he
was not willing to quit. | studied for
months to find way to induce him
to leave it off, Finally | told him !
would make no more coffee.
81 got Postum Food Coffee, and made
it strong-boiled it the required time
and had him read the little book, The
Road to MELVILLE, that comes in every
pkg.
To-day Postum has no stronger ad-
vocate than my husband. He tells ouI
friends how to make it, and that he
got through the winter without spell
of>the grip and has not had a headache
for months-he used to be subject tc
frequent nervous headaches.
