put a person in such a condition as It

a constant pain around my heart until
1 thought 1 could not endure it. For
months never went to bed expecting
to get up in the morning. I felt as
though 1 was liable to die any time
during the night.
Frequently I had nervous chills
and the least excitement would drive
sleep away, and any little noise would
upset me terribly. I was gradually
getting worse until finally one time it
came over me, and I asked myself
what is the use of being sick all the
time and buying medicine so that I
could indulge myself in coffee?

could quit drinking coffee and got
some Postum to help me quit I made
it strictly according to directions and
