AN OLD TIMER Has Had Experience. |.

A woman who has used Postum since 1t came upon the market knows from experience the wisdom of using Post um in place of tea or coffee If oRo values health and a clear brain. She says:
 At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia, and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum. l got a package and had 1t carefully prepared finding 1t delicious to the taste. So continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia
 My husband had been drinking cof- fee all his life until 1t had affected his nerves terribly, and I persuaded him to shift 10 Postum. It was easy to get him to make the change. for Postum is so delicious. It certainly worked won ders for him.
 We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stium ulate. but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stom- ach.
 ITO make a long story short our en- tire family continued to use Postum with satisfying results as shown in our fine condition of health'
 Better health follows the use of Postum in place of tea and coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner. There's q Reason.'
 Look in packages for the famous lit- tie book. "The Road to Wellvilie.'
