FOUND RIGHT PATH
After a False Start.

In 1890 began to drink coffee.
AT that time was healthy and en-
1oyed 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 light meal caused me serious
distress.
Our physicians prescriptions failed
to help me and then I dosed myself
with patent medicines till was thor.
oughly disgusted and hopeless.
Finally began to suspect that cof-
fee was the cause Of my troubles. I sx-
perimented by leaving 1t OF. except
for one small cup at breakfast. This
helped some but did not altogether re-
lieve my distress. It satisfied me.
however. that was on the right track
80 I gave up coffee altogether and
began to use Postum. In ten days I
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 OF coffee and using Postum
did this, with no help from drugs, a. /
abandoned the use Of medicines when
began to use the food drink" Name

Labertouche. Why7 You don't

NO: but Rutton did Rutton got

Quain whistled, his eyes round.
Did, eh? So much the better; he'll
probably know all about Rutton and'l

But you forget"

No; Labertouche is your man."
And to this Quain held inflexibly;
SO that, in the end. Amber, unable to
move him, was obliged to leave the
matter in his hands.
A sullen and portentous dawn hung
in the sky when the little party left

Amber frightened his clasp upon the
