CLEVER DOCTOR.
Cured 20 Years Trouble Without
 Any Medicine.

A wise Indiana physician cured 20 years stomach disease without any medicine as his patient tells:
 q had stomach trouble for 20 years, tried allopathic medicines, patent medicines and all the simple remedies suggested by my friends, but grew worse all the time.
 Finally doctor who is the most prominent physician in this part of the state told me medicine would do me no good, only irritating my stom- ach and making it worse-that I must look to diet and quit drinking coffee.
 'I cried out in alarm, Quit drink ing coffee!' why What will drink?'
 Try Postum,' said the doctor, I drink it and you will like it when it is made according to directions, with cream, for it is delicious and has none of the bad effects coffee has,
 ''Well, that was two years ago, and l am still drinking Postum. My stom- ach is right again and I know doctor hit the nail on the head when he de- cided coffee was the cause of all my trouble. I only wish I had quit it years ago and drank Postum in it's place." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Never too late to mend. Ten days trial of Postum in place of coffee works wonders. There's a reason.
