"GOoD STUFF"
A Confirmed Coffee Drinker Takes to
Postum.

A housewife was recently surprised
when cook served Postum instead Of
coffee. She says:
For the last five or six years have
been troubled with nervousness, in
digestion and heart trouble. couldn't
get any benefit from the doctors med
icine so finally he ordered me to stop
drinking coffee, whicL. 1 did.
Il drank hot water while taking the
doctors medicine, with some improve
ment, then went back to coffee with
the same old trouble as before.
"a new servant girl told me about
Postum-said her folks used it and
liked it in place of coffee. We got a
package but I told her I did not be-
lieve my husband would like it, as he
was a great coffee drinker.
TO my surprise he called for
third cup, said it was good stuff and
wanted to know what it was. We
have used Postum ever since and both
feel better than we have in years.
"My husband used to have bad
spells with his stomach and would be
sick three or four days, during which
time he could not eat or drink any
thing. But since he gave up coffee
and took to Postum, he has had no
more trouble. and we now fully De-
heve it was all caused by coffee.
q have not had any return of my
former troubles since drinking Pos
tum, and feel better and can do more
work than in the last ten years. we
tell everyone about it-some say they
tried it and did not like it. tell them
it makes all the difference as to how
it's made. 1t should be made accord
ing to directions-then it is delicious.

that she asked her class what was
the difference between the express
