writes a n. Y. woman. About twelve
years ago he began to nave bad spells.
His head felt queer, was dizzy and sick

gave no permanent relief.
In a short time the same old spells
would return. This went on for years, until
we dreaded these speels and feared he
would become an invalid.
"A friend to whom We told this exper-
fence said it was coffee. He had been the
same way and stopped drinking coffee and
got well by change to weil-made Postum.
HE told us to be sure to make 1t right,
according TO directions on pkg. Now we
like Postum as we'll as coffee, and I can't
remember when my husband has had a

Those bad spells are a thing OF the past.
