The whole family liked It so well.
that we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very an
xious concerning my mothers condi-

Postum for short time. she felt so
much better than she did prior to
its use, and had little trouble with hor
heart and no sick stomach: that the
headaches We're not so frequent. and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
