THE TEA PENALTY.
A Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from a busy railroad town
great roads says:
my husband is railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
of Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
1t has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself.
HE has been great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked it
strong.
"Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or so, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night and
| he would go to his work in the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
"At first he used Postum only for

it, and it somehow seemed TO do him
good, he added it to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew better. he began to
drink It for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
His condition is so wonderfully inn
proved that he could not be hired to
| give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep is
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made no
I other change in his diet.
His brother. who was very nervous
from coffee-drinking, was persuaded
! by us to give up the coffee and use
postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength" Name given by
