DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 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 Ballow, constl-
pated, irritable, sleepless; my mem
DRY was poor, trcmbled and my
thoughts were often confused.
My wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop It. 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 II same as ordinary coffee
and | was Disguised with the taste.
| Il make this emphatic because / fear
| many others have had the same expe-
rlence) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the d.
rections, made 1t right, boiled It full
10 minutes after boiling commenced,
and with good cream and sugar, |
liked lit inylgorated and seemed to
nourish me.
This was about year ago. Now I
have no headaches. am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my head steady.
have gained 20 lbs. and feel am a
new man.
Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. or 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
nour!shmcnt, 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 20.
Il write this for the information and
encouragement OF others, and with
feeling of gratitude to the inventor OF

The slow rate at which population
Is increasing In France is becoming
still slower. In fact, according to the
latest announcement there Is no in
crease, but an actual decrease. The
blrthrate has steadily dwindled for a
century, the aggregate Of births within
that time having decreased from
1907 900 to ia 1000 a year. The deaths
in France during 1907 were reported
at 795 600, which was 10000 more than
the births If this is to be a continu-
ing proportion, France may well view
the situation with alarm, and bestir
herself to discover the cause.
