eUTTERMiLK.
A Surer Way Out.

The "buttermilk fad" which its fol-
lowers insisted was the cure for all
the ills that human flesh is heir to, has
pretty well had its day.
Buttermilk is Il pleasant and healthy
drink. but there are a whole lot of de-
sirable things that it cannot do. 4
Nebr. woman found something much
more worth while. She says:
Three years ago my stomach was
in such a frightful condition that
could scarcely bear to take any food
at all. Indeed there was once that |
went for IA days without morsel Of
nourishment. preferring starvation to
the acute agony that | suffered when
ate anything. And all this entaiied
upon me almost constant headache and
nervousness. My condition was truly
pitiable.
THE doctor warned me that the cof-
fee I drank was chiefly responsible for
this condition. and ordered me to drink
buttermiik instead. But l despised
buttermilk and could not bring my
self to use ii.
Then l was advised to try Postum
Food Coffee. 1t has completely reno
waited and made over my whole sys-
tenn. The salutary effect on my poor
stomach was simply marvellous. and
that Strengthened out. the headaches,
nervousness and other troubles soon
vanished. For more than year I
have not felt any distress or pain. sucn
as / once thought would kill me.
II can truthfnlly say that Postum
has brought me the blessing of the
perfect health l enjoy. for I gave up
medicines when | began its use.
