MY mother, since her early child

had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making an Off
cial visit to distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. ] noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning It, He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for tho next meal. The
whole family were 80 well pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con.
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time. she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use. and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was as well
