lot OF trouble In this world To
change the food is the first duty OF
every person that is i'll. particularly

As an illustration; a lady in Mo, has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began us

years ago left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and

Husband is 70 years old and he was
troubled for long time with occa-
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
I prevailed upon him to leave off 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.
