The greatest drawback to the hog
industry which breeders in this cour
try have to contend with is what is
known as hog cholera" and swine

Hog cholera is a highly contagious
disease and unless checked is liable
to carry off a great number of hogs in

success and crcditable standing. Accor-

why it is the best Of personal and family

on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
TrembIe.

The surgeons duties require clear
judgment and a steady hand. A slip
or an unnecessary incision may do ir-
reparable damage to the patient.
When he found that coffee drinking
caused his hands to tremble, an Ills.
surgeon conscientiously gave it up and
this is his story.
For years | was a coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so I
could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night.
Besides, how could / safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments of pre-
cision? When 1 saw plainly the bad
effects of coffee, l decided to stop it,
and three years ago | prepared some
Postum, of which I had received a
sample.
THE first cupfui surprised me. 1t
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
time | gave mn Postum TO a friend
who was in a similar condition to
mine, from the use of coffee.
"A few days after, | met him and
he was full of praise for Postum, de-
claring he would never return to cof-
fee but stick to Postum. We then or
dered a full supply and within a short
time my nervousness and consequent
trembling, as well as insomnia, disap-
peared, blood circulation became nor
NAL, no dizziness nor heat flashes.
my friend became a Postum en-
thusiast, his whole family using it ex-
clusively.
1T would be the fault of the one
who brewed the Postum, if it did not
taste good when served.
THE best food may be spoiled if
not properly made. Postum should be
boiled according to directions on the
pkg. Then it is all right, anyone can
rely on it. 1t ought to become the
national drink There's a Reason"
