A physician Of Wash, d. c.. says OF
his coffee experience:
For years suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes | was
almost frantic. I was sallow. consti.
pated. irritable. sleepless; my mem.
ory was poor. l trembled and my
thoughts were often confused.
MY wife. in her wisdom. believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop 1t. tried many
times to do so. but was Its slave.
Finally Wife bought a package OF
Postum. and persuaded me to try 1t. but
she made It same as ordinary coffee
and I was disgusted with the taste.
Il make this emphatic because ! fear
many others have had the same expe-
rience) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the d.
rections, made it right. boiled 1t full

was the main thing. but had dropped

other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article Of

phosphates and albumens. This is no
imaginary tale. 1t can be substant-
