ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease'-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago | was a great cof-
fee drinker and from its use / be-
came so rvo | could scarcely
sleep at all nights. My condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
stefan / consulted declared my trou-
bles were due to coffee.
But being so welded to the bev-
erage / did not see how | could do
without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
ION a visit, my friends deprived me
OF coffee to prove that it was harm
full. At the end Of about eight days
/ was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so | went back
to the old habit IS soon as l got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck of me.
IL heard of Postum and decided to
try 1t. l did not like 1t at hrst, be-
cause, as | afterwards discovered, it
was not made properly. l found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package, 1t was delicious.
1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves, and none of the bad effects
that coffee had, so l babe farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account of
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex-
perience."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for a copy Of THE
Road to MELVILLE"
Postum now comes In two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolyes quickly
in a cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious bever-
age instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.
There's a Reason" for Postum.
