Il know It was that, because when
I would leave 1t on for q few days

give It up, even though I realized how
harmful It was to me.
"At last l found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years

began to drink Postum, and / also In
fluenced the rest Of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
