ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs

why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs

nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing. either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything |
could eat that would agree with me.
The little did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than it was worth.
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was so little food
could digest, / was literally starving
was so weak l could not sit up long
at a time.
1T was then a friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. I drank part of 1t
and after an hour felt as though
had had something to eat - felt

years ago, and after continuing Post
UNI in place of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day l can eat and
