HEART RIGHT.
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who Is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an I'M
expected thing and a be corrected II
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
II was a great coffee drlnker for
many years, and was not aware Of the
Injurious effects Of the habit till /
became a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
a nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
81 continued to drink coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ~ill-health, till on applying
for life insurance | was rejected on 40
count Of the trouble with my heart.
Then / became alarmed. l found that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so
I quit it altogether and having been
attracted by the advertisements Of
Postum I began its use.
THE change in my condition was re-
markable. All my ailments vanished,
My digestion was completely restored,
my ~ervousnes disappeared, and,
most important Of all, my heart stead
led down and became normal, and on q
second examination I was accepted BY
the Life Insurance Co. Quitting coffee
and using Postum worked the change"
