MENTAL ACCURACY
Greatly Improved by Leaving on
Coffee.

The manager Of an extensive creamery
in Wis. states that while a regular cof-
fee drinker, he found 1t injurious to his
health and a hindrance to the perform
auce of his business duties.
1T impaired my digestion, gave me a
distressing sense of fuIlness in the re-
gion Of the stomach, causing a most
painful and disquieting palpitation of
the heart, and what is worse, it mud
died my mental faculties 80 as to seri-
ously injure my business efficiency.
IT finally concluded that something
would have to be done. quit the use
of coffee, short off, and began to drink
Postum. The cook didn't make it right
at first-she didn't boil it long enough.
and I did not find it palatable and quit
using it and went back to coffee and to
the stomach trouble again.
Then my wife took the matter in
hand, and by following the directions on
the box, faithfully, she had me drinking
Postum for several days before knew
ii.
when I happened to remark that
u,ss; feeling r,uch better than 1 had for
a long time, she told me that I had
been drinking Postum, and that ac-
counted for it. Now we have no coffee
our table.
MY. digestion has. been restored, and
with the improvement has come relief
from the oppressive sense of fullness
and palpitation of the heart that
used to bother me so. / note such a
gain in mental str ength and acuteness
that 1 can ATTEND to my office work
with ease and pleasure and without
making the mistakes that were so an
moving to me while was using coffee.
