stock of the Rock Island company within
five minutes of the opening rose from 5Oj5

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
since 1t came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of using
Postum in place of coffee II one val
ues health and a clear brain. She
says:
"At the time Postum was first put
on the market I was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia. and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea
Or coffee. Finally I decided to take
his advice and try Postum. i got q
package and had II carefully pre-
pared, finding It delicious to the taste.
So I continued its use and very soon
its beneficial effects convinced me OF
Its value, for I got well OF my nerv-
business and dyspepsia.
my husband had been drinking
coffee all his life until It had affected
his nerves terribly. and I persuaded
him TO shift to Postum. 1t was easy
to get him to make the change. for
the Postum IL so delicious. 1t cer-
tainly worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum
does not exhilarate or depress and
does not stimulate. but steadily and
honestly strengthens the nerves and
the stomach.
ITO make long story short, our
entire family continued to use Pos.
tum with satisfying results. as shown
in our fine condition Of health, and
we have noticed rather unexpected
Improvement in brain and nerve pow
er."
Increased brain and nerve powel
always follows the use Of Postum ir
place of coffee, sometimes In a yer,
marked manner. There's q Rea
