Coffee knitted an Old Soldier.

An old soldier, released from cof-

1t knitted me again and again.
about eight years ago Gas a result
of coffee drinking which congested my
liver), l was taken with a very severe
attack of malarial fever.
II would apparently recover and
start about my usual work only to suf-
fer a relapse. After this had been
repeated several times during the year
I was again taken violently i'll.
1.-THE Doctor said he had carefully
studied my case, and it was either quit
coffee or die advising me to take Pos
tum in it's place. 7 had always thought
coffee one of my dearest friends, and
especially when sick, and I was very
much taken back by the Doctors deci-
sion, for / hadn't suspected the coffee
I drank could possibly cause my trou-
BILE.
I thought it over for a few minutes,
and finally told the DoctorNdA would
make the change. Postum was pro-
cured for me the same day and made
according to directions; well, I liked
it and stuck to it, and since then I
have been a new man. The change in
health began in a few days and sur
prised me, and now, although | am
seventy-two years Of age, I do lots Of
hard work, and for the past month
have been teaming, driving sixteen
miles a day besides loading and I'M
loading the wagon. That's what Pos
tum in the place Of coffee has done
for me. / now like the Postum as well
as I did coffee.

care for Postum at first, but after hay
ing learned to make it properly accord
ing to directions they have come to

5000 tons greater than any other YES

a little further backward, one finds
that the Minnesota is almost 20 times
