Remedies have put a stop 10 twelve
years OF misery passed with my son. As
an infant 1 noticed on his body a rad
spot, and treated same with different
remedies for about five years, but when
the spot began TO get larger l put him
under the care Of doctors. Under their
treatment the disease spread 10 four diff
ferent parts Of his body. The longer the
doctors treated him the worse il grew.
During the day IL would get rough and
form like scales. At night IL would be
cracked, inhamed, and badly swollen, with
terrible burning and itching. When l
think Of his suffering, il nearly breaks
my heart. His screams could be heard
down stairs. The suffering Of my son
made me full of misery. l had no ambi-
tlon Co work, to eat, nor could l sleep.
One doctor told me that my sons eczema
was incurable, and gave IL up for a bad
job. One evening l saw an article IN

It's easy TO understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks OF his own ex-
perience:
Il had used coffee for years and
really did noe exactly believe IL was
injuring me although | had palpita-
ton OF the heart every day.
Finally one day a severe and al.
most fatal attack OF heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both
tea and coffee. using Postum instead
and since that time | have had alb
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when | tried
a small quantity OF coffee which
caused severe irritation and proved
TO me | must let IL alone.
when we began using Postum II
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make IL according TO direc-
tions-but now we put little bit OF
butter In the pot when boiling and
allow the Postum TO boil full 10 min
utes which gives II the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many OF
my friends and patients 10 leave OF
coffee and drink Postum. In fact |
daily give this advice" Name given
