81 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.
81 had been troubled for some time
with my heart, which did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse stead

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.
II had no idea of what the trouble
was until a friend suggested that per-
haps it might be caused by coffee drink
ing. l tried leaving off the coffee and
began drinking Postum. The change
came quickly. 1 am now glad to say
that l am entirely well of the heart

ing off coffee and the use of Postum.
"a number Of my friends have aban-
doned coffee and have taken up with
Postum, which they are using steadily.
There are some people that make Post

is boiled long enough, according to di-
