BY Chance to Postum.

I'VE have given Postum over Il
years trial." writes a Wisconsin lady,
land our only regret is that We did not
try it before. Previously we used COT
fee twice a day and were very fond
of it.
MY husband had been subject to
severe attacks of sick headache for
years and at such times could not en-
dure the sight or smell of coffee. This
led me to suspect that coffee was the
cause of his trouble.
81 was also troubled very much with
acidity of the stomach and heart palpi-
ing for this but had not suspected
that coffee was the cause.
Finally we purchased some Postum
and it did for me what the medicine
had failed to do. The first day We
used Postum l noticed less of my own
trouble. the second day was entirely
free from it and have never been
troubled since.
MY husband has been entirely free
from attacks of sick headache since
he quit coffee and began to use Pos
tum.
Il have heard people say that did
not like the flavor of Postum, yet
have served it to them without detec-
ton, because it has the color and
snappy coffee taste, similar to mild
high-grade Java. This shows they had
not made it right. When made &C
cA'ding to directions on package, it is
