Coffee is such a secret worker that

sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter

with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using it for some time and vas an
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewd!y
suspected that coffee was the Worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered
it discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: "We found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad.
ly paid a hundred times the amount
Of the doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead Of cot.
fee was begun about a year ago. and
1t has made my husband a strong, well
man. He has gained %thirty-ive pounds
in that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared.
THE first time I prepared it I did
not boil it long enough and he said
there was something wrong with it.
Sure enough 1t did taste very fiat, but
the next morning l followed directions
carefully, boiling it for fifteen minutes,
and he remarked this is better than
