HARD TO DROP
But Many Drop 1t.

A young Calf. wife talks about
coffee:
1T was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and give Postum a trial, but my
nerves were SO shattered that 1 was
a nervous wreck and Of course that
means all kinds of ills.
''At first l thought bicycle riding
caused it and l gave it up, but my con-
dition remained unchanged. l did not
want to acknowledge coffee caused the
trouble for l was very fond of it.
About that time friend came to
live with us, and l noticed that after
he had been with us a week he would
not drink his coffee any more. asked
him the reason. He replied, L have
not had a headache since / left on
drinking coffee, some months ago, till
last week, when l began again, here at
your table. 1 don't see how anyone
can like coffee, anyway, after drink
ing Postum!
81 said nothing. but at once ordered
a package. of Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company. and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced that coffee caused his suf-
fering, so we returned to Postum, con-
vinced that the coffee was an enemy,
instead of friend, and he is troubled
no more by insomnia.
81, myself, have gained s pounds in
weight, and my nerves have ceased to
culver. 1t seems SO easy now to quit
the old coffee that caused our aches
and ills and take up Postum" Name
