SOAKED IN COFFEE Until Too Stiff to Bend Over.

"When I drank coffee 1 often had sick headaches, nervousness and biliousness much of the time but when l went to visit a friend l got in the habit of drink Ing Postum.
 "I gave up coffee entirely and the re- suit has been that l have been entirely relieved of all my stomach and nervous trouble.
 My mother was just the same way. We all drink Postum now and, without coffee in the house for two years, we are all well.
 "A neighbor of mine. a great coffee drinkor. was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend for work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day.
 At last I persuaded her to stop drink ing coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and has used Postum ever since: the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can sew on the ma- chine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side: in fact, she has got well. and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble.
 T could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum in it's place" There's a Reason" Look In pkg for the famous little book, The Road to Wellvllle.'
