TWELVE-MlIE RIDE
Trouble, But He Had an Object.

We are willing to take trouble to get
things we value.
A Missouri man so much benefited
by changing from coffee to Postum that
he was willing to ride about twelve miles
to get it. His daughter writes:
MY mother, father and myself have
been drinking Postum for two years and
have all been greatly benefited by it's
use.
Before we dropped coffee and began
to use Postum mother was poorly nour-
ished and only weighed 80 pounds After
she used it a few weeks she began to
gain in weight and she kept getting
stronger and better until now she weighs
about $50 pounds. and we al believe it is
due to leaving off coffee and drinking
Postum Food Coffee, because she has
taken no medicine of any kind. While
she drank coffee she was very nervous,
but since using Postum she has no such
trouble.
Father was troubled with Indigestion
when he drank coffee. but Postum has
changed all that He says he likes the
taste of it much better than coffee. When
I happen to be visiting and drink coffee
l am usually sick few hours, every
very nervous.
1--WE find there's big difference in the
way Postum is prepared. 1t should be
boiled properly according to directions
then it's flavor is fine.
.'Father rides about twelve miles to
get it. He says he would not do without
Postum if he had to go still farther to
get it." Name given by Postum Co.,
