PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the Injurious
effects Of coffee and the change In
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit OF others.
my mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for n
number Of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago | was making a
visit to a distant part OF the country
and took dinner with n of the
merchants of the place. | noticed a
somewhat unusual favour of the 'cof-
fee and asked him concerning 1t. lie
replied that 1t was Postum.
81 was so pleased with it that, after
the meal was over, | bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so well pleased
with 1t that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to Its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved,
This continued until she was well and
hearty.
