HOME TESTING.

A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.
To decide the all important question
of coffee, whether or not it is really
the hidden cause of physical ails and
approaching fixed disease, one should
make test of 10 days by leaving off
coffee entirely and using well-made
Postum
If relief follows you may know to a
certainty that coffee has been your
vicious enemy. Of course you can take
it back to your heart again, if you
like to keep sick.
A lady says: 81 had suffered with
stomach trouble, nervousness and ter
rible sick headaches ever since I was
little child, for my people were al
ways great coffee drinkers and let us
children have all we wanted. l got
so | thought | could not live without
coffee but | would not acknowledge
that it caused my suffering.
Then / read so many articles about
Postum that I decided to give it a
fair trial. | had not used it two
weeks in place of coffee until I began
to feel like a different person The
headaches and nervousness disappear
ed and whereas I used to be sick two
or three days out of a week while
drinking coffee I am now we'll and
strong and sturdy seven days a week,
thanks to Postum.
Il had been using Postum three
months and had never been sick a
day when I thought I would expert
ment and see if it really was coffee
that caused the trouble, so | began
to drink coffee again and inside of a
week | had sick SPELL I was so ill
| was soon convinced that coffee was
the cause of all my misery and | went
back to Postum. with the result that I
was soon well and strong again and
determined to stick to Postum and
leave coffee alone in the future"
