HERlDITY Gan De Overcome in Cases.

The influence of heridity cannot, of course, be successfully disputed, but it can be mi1fimized or entirely overcome in some eases by correct food and drink. A Conn. lady says:
 For years while I was a coffee drinker I suffered from bilious attacks of great severity from which I used to emerge as white as a ghost and very weak. Our family physician gave me various prescriptions for improving the digestion and stimulating the liver, which I tried faithfully but without perceptible result.
 NHe was acquainted with my family history for several generations back, and once when I visited him he said {: If you have inherited one of those tor pid livars you may always suffer more or less from it's inaction. We can't dodge our inheritance, you know
 T was not so strong a believer in heredity as he was, however, and, be- ginning to think for myself, con- cluded to stop drinking coffee and see what effect that would have. feared it would be a severe trial to give it up but when took Postum and had it well made. it completely filled my need for hot beverage and grew very fond of 1t.
 T have used Postum for three years using no medicine. During all thai time have had absolutely none of the bilious attacks that used to suffef from, and I have been entirely free from the pain and facilitating effects that used to result from them.
 eThe change is surely very great, and am compelled to give Postum the sx- Postum Go, Battle Creek, Mich
