SISTERS TRICK
But 1t All Came Out Right.

How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiend Is
an interesting tale:
Il was a coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. l mockcd at Postum and
would have none of 1t.
"One day my sister substituted
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what it was. / noticed the richness of
1t and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
l was drinking Postum for fear might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
/ grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
clearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place of my morning coffee.
From that time / became disciple of
Postum and no words can do justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. I will not try to tell 1t, for
only after having used it can one be
convinced of its merits"

stroyed. There's Reason"
