q somewhat peculiar flavor Of the cof-

over. bought q package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal: the
whole family liked 1t so well 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

of carbonated water and strip in his

AS unexpectedly as it had begun the
