COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of a great Western
State puts the case regarding stimu-
lants with a comprehensive brevity
that IS admirable. He says:
II am sc years old and have had
considerable experience with stimu-
lants. They are all alike-a mortgage
on reserved energy at ruinous inter-
est. As the whip stimulates but does
not strengthen the horse, 50 do stim-
rlants act upon the human system.
lsaiin- this way. gave up coffee
and al other stimulants and began
the use Of Postum Food coffee some
months ago. The beneficial results
have been apparent from the first.
The rheumatism that I used to suffer
from has left me, l sleep sounder,
my nerves are steadier and my brain
clearer. And I bear testimony also
to the food value Of Postum-some-
thing that is lacking In coffee" Name
