WENT TO TEA
And Ii Wound Her Bobbin.

Tea drinking frequently affects
people as badly as coffee. A lady in
Salisbury, Md, says that she was
compelled to abandon the use Of cof-
fee a good many years ago, because
1t threatened TO ruin her health and
that she went over to tea drinking,
but finally she had dyspepsia so bad
that she had lost twenty-five pounds
and no food seemed to agree with
her.
She further says: AT this tine
was induced to take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and was so much
pleased with the results that | have
never been without it since. l CON-
menced to improve at once, -egained
my twenty-five pounds of flesh and

That our American forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores Of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This infOrma-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.
