ANYTHING to do with it, and began to
take medicines, but kept on drinking
coffee.
Finally my heart trouble and head
aches grew so much worse and my
nerves became so shattered that any
unusual noise would make me jump
and shake all over as if ! had the ague.
Medicines did not help me and | could
not do my homework satisfactorily, SO
| asked my physician if coffee was
good for me.
He at once replicd-'NO, would not
advise you to use it, Will Postum hurt
me?' 1 asked. Not at all!' was his
quick response. In fact Postum will
be beneficial
The doctor was so emphatic, bought
some, and had it carefully prepared ac-
cording to directions on the box. !
found the new beverage delicious ana
refreshing, and the craving for the old
kind of coffee disappeared. and l grew
very fond of Postum.
1T was but short time till all my
ailments were gone. The heart trouble
has vanished and with it has gone the
headaches. my nerves have grown
steady and my head clear, can do my
work without distress or fatigue.

Poison is allowed to stay in the system

Rheumatism is durable il the proper
treatment is used. Liniments. plasters
and all local applications may relieve
the pain for short time. but no one
ever heard Of their permanently cur

way to cure rheumatism is the Uric-O
way. Neutralize the Rheumatic acid
and drive it from the system. That is
what Uric-O Goes. No matter what
is the kind or character Of the Rheu-
matism, it Is all caused by the same
