her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the fee demand
ed by a specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling OF her
case she says:
II had been treated by four differ
ent physicians during 10 years of
stomach trouble. Lately | called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that l had neuralgia OF the stom-
ach. Then went to a specialist who
told me I had catarrh Of the stomach
and said he could cure me in four
months but would have to have his
money down. could not raise the
necessary sum and In my extremity l
was led to quit coffee and try Postum.

um thorough trial and the results
have been magical. / now sleep we'll

II dreaded to quit coffee. because
every time had tried to stop It I sur
fered from severe headaches, SO con-
tinued to drink 1t although had rea-

of the eruption of 1892, but changing
their courses just as they reached Bel
passo and Nicolosi they have invaded
the main roads near these two vii
lagos which seem thereby now to have
escaped destruction.
