coffee to Postum.
"A friend Of my family was visiting
at our house and seeing my condition.
insisted that coffee was at the bottom
of my trouble. I confess was skepticaI
but promised to try Postum in place Of
coffee.
1T was nearly three weeks before I
noticed much of any change, as my case

nervousness was gradually disappearing
A little later I was able 10 sleep a part
