KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordf-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A. physician speaks of his own expe-
rience:
II had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe It was injuring
me although I had ~paIpitation of the
heart every day. TEA contains CAT
feiue-the same drug found In coffee
and Is just as harmful as coffee.)
Finally enc day a severe and al
most fatal attack Of heart trouble
frightened me and T gave I'D both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time I have had absolutely
no heart ~palpitation except ON one or
two occasions when I tried a small
quantity of coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to me I must let
1t alone.
When we began using Postum It
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make 1t according to directions
but now we put a little bit OF hut
ter In the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives 1t the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
Il have advised q great many of
my friends and patients to leave OF
coffee and drink Postum, In fact I daily
give this advice" Name given by
