LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. of Postum and
Opened the Eyes of the Family.

A lady writes from BrOokline, Mass.'
"A package Of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
II notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning 1 prepared some Of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
"It was an immediate success in my
family, and from that day we have
used it constantly, parents and chill
dren, too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink it freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think 1t
delicious, and 1 would have a mutiny
on my hands should l omit the be-
loved beverage.
my husband used to have a very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stOm-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily I wrote to my sister, who was a
coffee topper, and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against it at
first, but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains a thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
"Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use Of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she is
a new woman, thanks to Postum"
