coffee's Weight On Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for the
benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools in
North Carolina, says:
My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker
and 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, i was making al,
official visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants of the place. I noticed
a somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee and asked him concerning 1t. He
replied that it was Postum.
II was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family liked it so well, that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers condi-
ton, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt sc
much better than she did prior to dts
use, and had little trouble with he,
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was as vel
and hearty as the rest of US.
