PRESSED HARD
Cohee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in.
furious effects Of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit Of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one Of the southern states says:
my mother, since her early child
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number Of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making an off.
cial visit to distant part OF the coun-
try and took dinner with one OF the
merchants Of the place. / noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour OF the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning 1t, He
replied that 1t was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with 1t, that after
the meal was over. bought package
to carry home with me. and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO we'll pleased
with 1t. that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con.
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach: that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest OF us.
Il know Postum has benefited my.
self and the other members of the
family, but not In so marked a de.
gree as in the case of my mother. as
