about seven years ago I ceased
drinking coffee to give your Postum
trial.
Il had suffered acutely from various
forms of Indigestion and my stomach
had become so disordered as to repel
almost every sort of substantial food.
My general health was bad. At .close
intervals would suffer severe attacks
which confined me in bed for q week
or more. Soon after changing from
coffee to Postum the indigestion
abated, and in short time ceased
entirely. I have continued the daily
use of your excellent Food Drink and
assure you most cordially that am
indebted to you for the relief it has
brought me.
Wishing you a continued success. I
am Yours very truly,
