MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving OF Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day
after day, have found better capaci-
ty and greater endurance by using
Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:
Il had drank coffee for about twen-
ty years, and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart l was
nervous and extremely respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
left, had kidney trouble and constipa-
ton.
"rhe first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then / became less respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof Of renewed physical and
mental strength.
Il am steadily gaining In physical
strength and brain power. / formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"
