DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum

Doctor Gains 70 POUNDS on Postum
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. was sallow, consti-
pated, irritable, sleepless; my men,
DRY was poor, I trembled and my
thoughts were often confused.
my wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. 1 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 1t same as ordinary coffee
and l was disguised 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 1t right, boiled 1t full
15 minutes after boiling commenced,
and with good cream and sugar,
liked tit invigorated and seemed to
nourish me.
This was about year ago. Now
have no headaches, am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my head steady:
have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am a
| new man.
Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF course dropping coffee
was the main thing, but had dropped
1t before, using chocolate, cocoa and
| other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This is no
imaginary tale. 1t can be substanti-
ated by my wife and her sister, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 10.

encouragement Of others, and with q
feeling of gratitude to the inventor Of

A Woman's DUTY,

The woman Of taste keeps abreast
Of the fashions in way-that Is, she
drops wornout styles and adopts what
ever new ones she can adapt to her
use. If she can afford 1t she patron.
ICES first-class dressmakers and gets
her moneys worth by wearing her
clothes two or three seasons without
losing her prestige as a well-dressed
woman. There is an advantage in
this method, as you can see, and I
have been told by women who use
1t that there Is economy as well.
1t Is no economy to save at the ex-
pense Of good looks. 1t is a woman's
duty to look her best, duty she owes
to her family II she can secure it
by small expenditure, so much the
better, but to save by accepting shah
biness is not creditable save in dire
stress Of circumstances. Poverty ia
an excuse for shabbiness and nothing
else is accepted by the world, save in
the rare cases of shabby millionaires.
