For the Old Fashioned Coffee Was
killing.
Il always drank coffee with the
rest of the family, for it 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 l
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour or two after breakfast. and
if l walked up a hill, it gave me a
severe pain.
L had no ida Of what the trouble
was until a friend suggested that
perhaps it might be caused by coffee
drinking. I tried leaving off the
coffee and began drinking Postum.
The change came quickly. l am now
glad to say that I 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
abandoned 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 di-
rections, it is very delicious bev-
erage. We have never used any of
the old fashioned coffee since Postum
was first started in our house"
