ONE IN THREE
Every Third Person Poisoned by Coffee

1t is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is an absolute poison to at
least one person out of every three,
but people are slowly finding ii out,
although thousands of them suffer ter
ribly before they discover the fact. A
New York hotel man says:
Each time after drinking coffee /
became restless, nervous and excited
so that / was unable to sit five min
utes IN one place. was also inclined to
vomit and suffered from loss of sleep,
which. got worse and worse.
"A lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause Of my trouble. and suggested
that ] try Postum. / laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me. but she
insisted so hard that finally had some
Postum made. have been using it in
place Of coffee ever since, for noticed
that all my former nervousness and
irritation disappeared. began to
sleep perfectly, and the Postum tasted
as good or better than the old coffee.
so what was the use of sticking to a
beverage that was running me?
''One day on an excursion up the
country ] remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved ap-
pearance. She explained that some
time before she had quit using coffee
and taken Postum.
she had gained number of pounds
and her former palpitation of the
heart. humming in the ears, trembling
of the hands and legs and other dis
agreeable feelings had disappeared.
She recommended me TO quit coffee
and take Postum and was very much
surprised to find that 1 had already
made the change.
-She said her brother had also re-
ceived great benefits from leaving off
coffee and taking on Postum" There's
a Reason"
