other mining camps of Mexico today by VEN
turesome Americans who perhaps had an
early history not quite eventful as that
Of Mr.. Shepherd.
The invention and utilization of modern

Mexico In these things Americans have set
the pace. II is a well established fact that
there are mineral districts in remote parts Of

the building to them Of railroads and the
providing of cheap power are all that is lack

The American Smelling and Refining com

insomnia from which l suffered ter
ribly, as we'll as the extreme nervous
ness and acute dyspepsia which made
life most painful thing for me.
II had been a coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all this
harm. But 1t was, and the time came
when had to face the fact, and pro-
tect myself. therefore gave up coffee
abruptly and absolutely. and adopted
Postum as my hot drink at meals.
Il began to note improvement in my
condition very soon after l took on
Postum. The change proceeded grad
ually, but surely. and 1t was a matter of
only few weeks before 1 found my
self entirely relieved-the nervousness
passed away, my digestive apparatus
was restored to normal efficiency, and
l began to sleep, restfully and peace
fully.
These happy conditions have con-
