SICK MAN WANTED CHANGE.
More Than Willing to Make Transfer
With Physician.


A Syracuse business man who, b.
Cides being extremely active and am
bilious. has much sense Of humor,
was taken sick with = slight attack of
pneumonia. His physician. aware that
1t would be . task to keep his high
strung patient in bed. sought to i'm
press on him the seriousness of the
ailment and the necessity of absolute
rest; all Of which the sick man lis
tened to in . bored manner Never
theless he consented to obey the doc
tor.
But this enforced inactivity ranked
In hiE; and each succeeding day
found the patient importuning the
medical man attendant to allow him
to get out to business. Then, dis
gusted. he would lie back to cast i'm
precautions at the memorable physi-
clan.
Ono morning the physician, after
having been up all night on An Inn
portant case. appeared at bis patients
house at the usual hour. He had hard,
ly stuck his haggard face inside the
door, however. before the man in the
bed gave him 4 quick glance and sat
up.
"Eh? calculated the patient. Then
showing out his hand to grasp the doc
tors satchel. he added: Doc, l guess
you'd better get into bed here and
let me go out with the medicine
bag"

NOT A MIRACLE.
Just Plain Cause and Effect,

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day. which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink
ing so severely as to cause spells Of
unconsoiousness. And to find complete
relief in changing from coffee to Pos
tum is well worth recording.
Il used to be a great coffee drinker,
so much so that 1t was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time. The spells caught
me sometimes two or three times a
day.
MY friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. l wcdld not be-
lieve it. and still drank coffee until
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor. who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hesi-
tation I concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then l have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.
Il feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. l now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee,
and as 1 am seventy years of age all
my friends think the Improvement
quite remarkable"
