Far back in my childhood / hold

although the old house is gone and
a new one stands in Its place. often
see in my dreams the little coffee
grinder by the window, and grind
again the coffee for breakfast.
But time passed on and the pleasure
Of indulgence in coffee was wholly lost
In the III effects on my nervous sys-
tenn. I was troubled with frequent and
severe spells Of headache. which sadly
interfered with my work.
my sleep was less sound than
formerly, and nightmare often dis
turbed my fitful SAUNDERS, until at last
insomnia held me in Its relentless
grasp. would lie awake nearly all
night.
'"Other troubles set in, until I was
pronounced incurable by several Of our
best physicians They all prohibited
the use of coffee. l was indeed like
ono under the spell of tho drink habit,
but I obeyed implicitly my medical
advisers, for I had become great suf-
ferer.
"a friend who had been greatly bene-
flied by changing from coffee to Pos

erage to try. Ilfound its favour pleas
ant, while at the same time 1t agreed
with ME perfectly; in fact seemed just

appointed to find mine did not taste
like my friend's-I had not boiled 1t
long enough. After had learned this
fact and made my Postum according
to directions, I had uniform satlsfac-
tory results.
We'll to make long story short, I
seemed to have found Ponce de Icons
fountain of youth, for my friends re-
marked that was growing young. Ny
mind became clearer and more vigor-
GUS and I took UP the work which I
had reluctantly laid aside, and much
more with 1t.

good doctors had said. I had at least
found something to allay my insomnia
