Ever read one of these genuine letters? DOCTOR EXPLAINS. His AhticIe in the Medical Magazine
 about Coffee.

One of the most famous medical publi- cations in the United States is the "Alkaloidal Clinic" in a recent num- Der of which an entertaining article on coffee by a progressive physician and surgeon was published. In explain inG his position in the matter this physician recently, said:
 Tn the article in question really touched but lightly upon the merits of Postum Food Coffee. have had several eases of heart trouble. indiges- ton and nervousness where per manent cure was effected by merely using Postum In place of coffee without any other treatment.
 Tn my own family have used Pos tum for three years and my children actually cry for it and will not be satisfied with any other beverage. Indeed they refuse to eat until they have had the customary cup of Postum and as 1t Is a rebuilder and does notn- ing but good am only too glad to let them have 1t.
 ''To get the best results we boil the Postun at least 20 minutes and 1t is then settled by adding a little cold water. then the addition of fresh cream makes a beverage I now prefer to the very best coffee" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.
 Authorities are agreed that Postum is wonderfully quick and sure re- builder. Ten days trial in place of coffee proves it.
