EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes. from the land of cot
ton of the results of four years use
of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. II had
more or less injurious effect upon
us all. and myself suffered almost
death from Indigestion and nervous
ness caused by 1t.
81 know 1t was that, because when
1 would leave 1t of for a few days I
would feel better. But 1t was hard to
give Il up. even though 1 realized how
harmful 1t was to me.
AT last | found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. -Four years
ago 1 abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and I also in
fluenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink 1t freely as they do
water. And 1t has done us all great
good.
Il no longer suffer from Indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since / began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.

lightful and healthful beverage, which
