THE DIFFERENCE
C0hee Usually Means Sickness but
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the
experiment of leaving of coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi.
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: II drank
coffee for breakfast every morning
until I had terrible attacks of indi-
gestion producing days of discomfort
and nights of sleeplessness. I tried
to give up the use of coffee entirely
but found 1t hard to go from hot
coffee to glass of water. Then l
tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that l soon learned to love
1t and have used it for several years.
] improved Immediately after l left
on coffee and took on Postum and am
now entirely cured Of my Indigestion
and other troubles, all Of which were
due to coffee. l am now we'll and
epntented and all because I changed
from coffee to Postum.
Postum 10 much easier to make
right every time than coffee for it is
30 even and always reliable. We
never use coffee now In our family.
We use Postum and are always WE'LL"
There's a reason" and it is proved
by trial.
