A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety of Ills.

A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
i'll, writes to tell how she won back her
health by quitting coffee:
Il am "a years old" she say have
used coffee all my life. and for 20
years suffered from indigestion and
insomnia. Life was a burden and a
drag to me all the time, and about
once a year my ailments got such hold
upon me that I was regularly sick In
bed for several weeks each time.
Il was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause Of my trouble, but
l am thankful that / found out the
truth.
Then / determined to use Postum
cxclusively-for a week at first-for l
doubted my ability to do without COT
fee for any length Of time. / made
the Postum carefully, as directed, and
before the week expired had my re-
ward In a p%erceptible increase in
strength and spirits.
Seeing the good that my short ex-
pertinent had accomplished, / resolved
TO continue the use Of Postum, cutting
out the coffee entirely. This / did for
nine months, finding, daily. increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My Indigestion grad

changed from sallow to a fresh, rosy
hue and life became a blessing.
Then ! thought / would try coffee
again, and did SO for a few weeks. The

troubles.
