A GOOD CHANGE
A Change Of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty OF
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with herhusband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began us
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food She
says:
For a number OF years L suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil was
very in most of the time. About four
years ago 1 left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
Then l changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day gained in flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and l feel that
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 73 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occar
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
prevailed upon him to leave of coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for long time, but after he tried
Postum for few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.

has been using Postum for several
