A WIDOWS LUCK

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
Il suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, l did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
l was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
/ was widow and had child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that / wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from man who had been
affected in the same way that was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
flied by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. l grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
my health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
Of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth!
Then again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.

gan to use Postum and am using it
still, and shall continue to do so, as |
find it guarantee Of good health"
