a physician of Wash, D. c., says Of

almost frantic. I was sallow, consti-

DRY was poor, 1 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. I tried many
times TO do so, but was its slave.
Finally Wife bought q package Of
Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and l was disguised with the taste.

many others have had the same expe-
