a distressing sense Of fullness in the
region Of the stomach, causing a most
painful and disquieting palpitation Of
the heart, and what is worse. it mud

ously injure my business efficiency.
Il finally concluded that something
would have to be done. l quit the use
of coffee. short off, and began TO drink
Postum. The cook didn't make it
right at first. She didn't boil it long
enough, and I did not find it palatable
and quit using it and went back to cof
fee and to the stomach trouble again.
Then my wife took the matter in
hand, and by following the directions
on the box, faithfully, she had me
drinking Postum for several days be-
for l knew it,
When I happened to remark that

for long time. she told me that I
