A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly KILL
ing Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
II suffered for many years, chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with Sc
we're nervous headaches and neuralgia,
but although incapacitated at times for
my homework, 1 did not realize the
gravity of my condition till 1 was re-
jected for life insurance, because, the
examining physician said, my heart
was so bad he could not pass me- This
widow and had a child dependent upon
me. 1t was to protect her future that
1 wanted to insure my life.
Fortunately for me. 1 happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that I was
with heart trouble, and who was cured
by leaving off coffee and using Postum.
I grasped at the hope this held out,
and made the change at once.
My health began to improve i'm
mediately. The headaches and neu-
ralgia disappeared. I gained in flesh,
and my appetite came back to me at
once. Greatest of all, my heart was
from the beginning, and
soon all the distressing symptoms pass
ed away. Then I again made applica-
ton for life insurance, and had no
trouble in passing the medical exami-
ration.
TT was seven years ago that 1 began
to use Postum, and I am using it still,
and shall continue to do SO, as I find
in it a guarantee of good health"
