ABANDONED 1T
For the Old Fashioned Coffee Was
Killing.

at always drank coffee with the rest
Of the family, for 1t seemed as if there
was nothing for breakfast If we did
not have it on the table.
Il had been troubled some time
with my heart, which did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse steadily.
Sometimes it would beat fast and
at other times very slowly, SO that I
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour or two after breakfast, and If
1 walked up a hill, it gave me a Sc
we're pain.
Il had no idea of what the trouble
was until a friend suggested that per
haps it might be caused by coffee
drinking. l tried leaving off the coffee
and began drinking Postum. The
change came quickly. l am now glad
to say that l am entirely well of the
heart trouble and attribute the relief
to leaving off coffee and the use OF
Postum.
"A number of my friends have aban-
doned the old fashioned coffee and
have taken up with Postum, which
they are using steadily. There are
some people that make Postum very
weak and ~tasteless, but if it is boiled
long enough, according to directions.
it is a very delicious beverage. We
have never used any OF the old fash
toned coffee since Postum was first
started in our house"
