@GOOD STUFF
Confirmed Coffee Drinker Takes
to Postum.

A housewife was recently surprised
when cook served Postum instead Of
coffee. She says:
For the last FIVE or six years I have
been troubled with nervousness, indi-
gestion and heart trouble. I couldn't
cine. so finally he ordered me TO stop
drinking coffee, which l did.
7 drank hot water while taking the
doctors medicine, with some improve
ment, then went back to coffee with the
same old trouble as before.
"A new servant girl told me about
Postum-said her folks used 1t and liked
1t IN place of coffee. We got a package
but I told her l did not believe my hus-
band would like IL, as he was a great
coffee drinker.
TO my surprise he called for a third
cup. said 1t was good stuff and want
ed to know what II was. We have used
Postum ever since. and both feel better
than we have in years.
My husband used TO have bad spells
with his stomach, and would be sick
three or four days, during which time
he could not eat or drink anything. But
since he gave up coffee and took TO Pos
tum. he has had no more trouble, and
We now fully believe it was all caused
by coffee.
''I have not had any return of my
former troubles since drinking Postum.
and feel better and can do more work
than in the last ten years We tell
everyone about it-some say they tried
IL and did not like II. l tell them il
made 1t should be made according 70
directions-then IL Is delicious.
