Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got III such bad condi-t

Kits skin was yellow, and I hardly
think there was an organ IN his body
that was not affected.
II told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee, and after some dis
cussion he decided to give It up.
1T was 4 struggle, because Of the
powerful habit, One day we heard
shout Postum and concluded 70 try it,
and then It was easy to teave OF COT
fee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent. his complexion began to
clear. kidneys grew better until ct
last he was a new man altogether, as
q result of leaving Off coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then I began to
drink It. too.
Although I was never as bad on
as my husband, was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong. only Weighing s5 lbs. before
( began to use Postum. Now weigh
115 lbs. and can do as much work as
any one my size, think.
MANY do not use Postum because
