tense interest, but was not astonished.

Pressed for an explanation, the five

the stork was standing alone on one

Painting and snorting, the crazed

frightened steer, but at that moment
the animal saw it's own reflection in

the mirror with such force that its

allowed to drink coffee, but as soon as

years / noticed no bad effects from its
use, but in time 1t began to affect me
unfavorably. My hands trembled, the
muscles of my face twitched, my men,
tai processes seemed slow and in other
ways my system got out of order.
These conditions grew so bad at last
that had to give up coffee altogether.

Postum, began its use on leaving off
the coffee, and it gives me pleasure to
testify to its value. find 1t delicious
