NEVER INTENDED.
IAN Pevents the Intent Of Providence,

A'-N-AA a ~ iii AAAtCAAA Ia AOAAUCGkCC.
We do not believe that Providence
which placed US in a world filled with
countless delights, ever intended that
we drug ourselves, bring on diseases
and live cheerIess. unhappy and pain
filled lives.
On the contrary the joys of each day
should make us look forward with
pleasant anticipations to the coming
of the next: without health this is i'm
possible.
We have. to an extent, the power to
command that health.
A lady writing from MeadviIle. Pa.
says that for 20 years she was a great
sufferer from headaches (Which were
for a hours at a time) and kidney
troubles; that she employed numerous
physicians from time to time and took
much medicine but got no help: that
one doctor said her spine was afflicted
another that her sufferings came from
female weakness, a third that her eyes
brought it all on her, etc. etc but that
when the truth was reached it was
found that her eoffee-drinking habit
was alone responsible-that she was
coffee poisoned
So the good Samaritan told her about
Postum Food Coffee and she determined
to quit using the old kind and see what
the rev would do for her. She consign-
ed the medicine bottles to the trash
barrel along with the coffee canister and
began to drink Postum.
At first I did not like it she says
but when / learned how to prepare it
I found it a most agreeable and re-
freshing beverage. I soon began to feel
better. the headache grew less and less
frequent ard severe, my sleep became
natural and restfui. and now, after 2
years use all my troubles have disap-
peared, including the affection of the
kidneys, of which I was at one time
most apprehensive.
My weight has increased % pounds.
Il wish to speak within moderation,
but I tell you the truth when I say that
life looks bright to me row. and could
not ii 7 would. and would not if
could give up Postum and go back
