Il was in despair, for the very

thought of Postum but could hardly
bring myself to give up the coffee.
Finally l concluded that owed It
to myself to give Postum trial. So
got a package and carefully followed
the directions, and what a delicious.
nourishing, rich drink It was! Do you
know l found It very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum and not mind
the change at all?
Almost Immediately after I made
the change l found myself better, and
as the days went by kept on improv-
