 The troubles were constipation, futterings of the heart, humping in the top of my head and various parts of my body, twitching of my limbs, shaking of my head and, at times after exertion, general gone feeling with a toper's desire for very strong coffee. I was nervous wreck for years.
 "A short time ago friends came to visit us and they brought package of Postum with them, and urged me to try it. I was prejudiced because some years ago I had drunk a cup of weak, tasteless stuff called Postum which ! did not like at all
 This time, however. my friend made the Postum according to direc- tions on the package, and it won me. Suddenly found myself improving in a most decided fashion.
 "The odor of boiling coffee no long, CT tempts me. I am so greatly bene- fited by Postum that if I continue to improve as I am now, I'll begin to think I have found the Fountain of Perpetual Youth. This is no fancy letter but stubborn facts which I am glad to make known"
