UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum.

Many a talented person is kept back
because Of the interference of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the case with talented persons.
There is a simple. easy way to get rid
of coffee evils and Tenn. lady's ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says:
Almost from the beginning Of the
use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By
the time l was fifteen l was almost
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. l
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
bot cup of Postum. I drank part of it
ant after an hour 1 felt as though /
hsd had something to eat - felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, ami after continuing Post
UNI in place of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, today l can eat and
digest anything l want, walk as much
as l want. My nerves are steady.
4 believe the first thing that did me
any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and l use it alto
gether now instead of coffee" There's
