They Had Coffee Drinkers.

An Town lady shows that Postum
Food Coffee has proved a great
promoter of health. She says:
During nearly all Of my life till a
year ago 1 used coffee daily, without
knowing it kept me thin and feeling
bad l was induced to quit coffee and
try Postum. l liked it from the first,
and found that felt better than did
while l was using the old kind of
coffee. So I continued to use it.
After a few weeks ! began to
realize that 1 was growing plumper.
and was pleased to find the other day
that I had gained Is pounds in the
twelve months. Postum gives me a
splendid appetite, in fact I can eat and
digest my food perfectly now.
My husband has, all his life, been
troubled with 'bold-hives' and has
been quite sufferer from catarrh in
the head. He also quit coffee, and
began to use Postum Food Coffee
about a year ago with manifest good
results. His catarrh has vanished
and he has not had an attack of bold
hives for six months. My friends
noting the change in both of US say
Why, how we'll you look! Do you
really suppose it is Postum that has
made the changer and reply. Most
emphatically I do, for it is the only
change we have made in our mode OF
living"
My sister who used to suffer
greatly from biliousness quit coffee
and began to drink Postum Food
Coffee 2 years ago. She never has
bilious attacks any more. Like my
husband. my father has found that his
catarrh has disappeared since he gave
