NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely TO
old notions of things New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap
piness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea new
to them and stepped up several rounds
on the health ladder. The husband
writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless,
nervous, sallow, weak and irritable.
My wife and l both loved coffee and
thought it was bracer." (delusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked it
and were relieved of ills caused by
coffee Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc.
These changes We're not sudden,
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and We lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg, until it was dark and rich, they
liked it better than coffee and were
benefited by the change" There's
