AT other times I had severe head

had serious chronic dyspepsia and
constipation. A lady. for many years
State President of the w. c. T. u.
told me she had been greatly benefited
by quitting coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee; she was troubled for
years with asthma. She said It was
no cross to quit coffee when she
found she could have as delicious an
article as Postum.
Another lady who had been trou-
bled with chronic dyspepsia for years.
found immediate relief on ceasing cof.
fee and beginning Postum twice a
day. She was wholly cured. Still
another friend told me that Postum
Food Coffee was a Godsend to her. her

after leaving off coffee and taking on
Postum.
