ROMANTIC DEvONsMIRE
The Land Made Fnmous by Philpotts'
Novels.

Phipotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire In his fascinating
novels, 1.-THE River" Children Of the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Fill,
Bideford, North Devon. states:
'.For 30 years drank coffee for break
fast and dinner, but some years ago
I found that 1t was producing indlges-
ton and heartburn, and was making me
restless at night. These symptoms We're
Followed by brain fag and sluggish
mental condition. "
..When l realized this made up my
mind that to Quit drinking coffee, and
having read Of Postum concluded to
try it. l had it carefully made, accord
Ing to directions. and found, to my agree
able SURPRISE at the end OF q week. that
no longer suffered from either indlges-
ton, heartburn or braln-fag. and that
I could drink 1t at night and secure
restful and refreshing sleep.
"Since that time we have entirely dis
continued the use of the old kind Of
coffee, growing fonder ana fonder Of
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
