grew to womanhood these headaches
became part of me, as was scarcely
ever free from them.

me to try Postum. I made the trial
and the result was SO satisfactory that
we have used it ever since.
MY husband and little daughter
were subject to bilious attacks, but
they have both been entirely free from
them since we began using Postum in
stead of coffee. / no longer have
headaches and my health is perfect"
II some of these tired, nervous. ir-
ritable women would only leave of
coffee absolutely and try Postum they
would find wonderful change in their
life. 1t would then be filled with SUM-

an effect it would have on the family.
