EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land Of cot
ton of the results of a four years use
of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since l can remember we had
used coffee three times day. 1t had
a more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and n myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.
II know it was that, because when
would leave it off for few days l
would feel better. But it was hard to
give it up, even though l realized how
harmful 1t was to me.
AT last 1 found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago l abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and l also in
fluenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink it freely as they dc
water. And 1t has done us all great
good.
Il no longer suffer from indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since l began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.
I'VE appreciate Postum as a de.
lightful and healthful beverage. which
not only invigorates but supplies the
best Of nourishment as we'll" Name

during his experience he had encountered
