TRIED TO FORCE IT.
Thought System Would So. Tolerate

A Bost:r lady tried to convince her.
self that she. could get used to. coffee,
and finally found it was the stronger.

nervous, ] was not allowed coffee But
since reaching womanhood I began its
use and as the. habit grew on me. 1
frequently endeavored to break myself
Of it, because Of Its evident bad eff
fects.
"With me the most noticeable effect
of drinking coffee was palpHation OF
the heart. This was at times truly
alarming, and my face would flush un..
comfortably and maintain its vivid
hue for some time.
81 argued that my system would soon
accustom itself to coffee, and continued
to use it, altho had a suspicion
that it was affecting my eye-sight, ALSO
The kidneys early showed effects OF
coffee, as I found by leaving 1T off for
a few days, when the trouble abated.
"Finally a friend called my atten-
ton to Postum. At first I did not Like
it, but when made rfght-boiled 10

No flushing of the face, no palpitatdon,
no discomfort or Inconvenience after
drinking it.
"Of course all this was not felt in a
week or two weeks, but within that

difference had taken place and great
deal of my nervousness had vanished.
