buyer. Have regular market days.
Try to build up reputation for prime
stock. Grow bone and muscle first.

Young fowls shipped with old stock
will command old stock prices. Poul-

FOUND RIGHT PATH
After a False Start.

I'm 1890 I began to drink coffee.
AT that time I was healthy and en-
5oyed life. At first l noticed no bad
effects from the Indulgence but in
course of time found that various
troubles were coming upon me.
"Palpitation of the heart took unto
itself sick and nervous headaches, kid
ney troubles followed and eventually
my stomach became so deranged that
even a light meal caused me serious
distress.
Our physicians prescriptions failed
to help me and then l dosed myself
with patent medicines till I was thor
oughly disgusted and hopeless.
Finally began to suspect that cof-
fee was the cause Of my troubles l ex-
perimented by leaving it off, except
for one small cup at breakfast. This
helped some but did not altogether re-
lieve my distress. 1t satisfied me.
however, that was on the right track.
so gave up coffee altogether and
began to use Postum. In ten days l
found myself greatly improved. my
nerves steady. my head clear. my kid
neys working better and better, my
hearts action rapidly improving. my
appetite improved and the ability to
eat hearty meal without subsequent
suffering restored to me. And this con-
dition remains.
Leaving off coffee and using Postum
did this. with no help from drugs. as
abandoned the use OF medicines when
