Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.
A physician of Wash, D. c., says OF
his coffee experience:
''For years l suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes l was
almost frantic | was sallow, consti-
Dated, irritable, sleepiess my memory
was poor L trem5led and my thoughts
were often confused.
MY wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills and
urged me to drop it. l tried many
times to do so, but was it's slave.
FINALLY Wife bought a package OF
Postum and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and l was Disguised with the taste. q
make this emphatic because l fear
many others have had the same ex-
perience.) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the direc-
tons, made it right, boiled it full 10 min
utes after boiling commenced, and with
good cream and sugar, l liked tit
Iinvigorated and seemed to nourish me.
THAT was about a year ago. Now |
have no headaches. am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my hand steady. l
have gained 20 lbs. and feel l am a
new man.
81 do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF course dropping coffee
was the main thing, but 1 had dropped
it 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 substantial
ed by my wife and her sister, who both
changed to Postum and are hearty
women of about 20.

and encouragement of others. and with
feeling of gratitude to the inventor

the principles of prohibition. Today,

the voters does not believe in the
principles of prohibition. He ex-
pressed confidence that the cause
of prohibition would continue it's
growth.
