My mother since her early child
hood. was an inveterate coffee drfnker
and had been troubled with her heart
Tor a number of years, and complain
ed of that weak all over feeling and
sick stomach.
Some time ago, I was making an
official visit to distant part of the
country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants of the place. I noticed
somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
''I was so pleased with 1t. that after
the meal was over. bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal The
whole family liked 1t so well. that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
q! had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers condf-
1lon, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use. and had little trouble with her
neart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
ner general condition much improved

and hearty as the rest of US
II know Postum has benefited my
sen ana the other members of the
family. but not in SO marked a degree
as in the case of my mother, as she
