SCOFFERS
Often Make the Staunchest Converts.

The man who SCOTS at an idea or
doctrine which he does not fully I'M
derstand has at least the courage to
show where he stands.
The gospel of Health has many con-
verts who formerly laughed at the
idea that coffee and tea, for example,
ever hurt anyone. Upon looking into
the matter seriously. often at the sug-
gestion of a friend, such persons
have found that Postum and friends
advice have been their salvation.
my sister was employed in an east
ern city where she had to do calculat-
ing writes an Okla. girl. She suf-
fered with headache until she was al
most untitled for duty.
Her landlady persuaded her to quit
coffee and use Postum and in few
days she was entirely free from head
ache" (Tea is just as injurious as
coffee because it contains caffeine, the
same drug found in coffee) she told
her employer about it, and on trying
it. he had the same experience.
My father and have both suffered
much from nervous headache since
can remember, but We scoffed at the
idea advanced by my sister, that cot
fee was the cause of our trouble.
However. we finally quit coffee and
began using Postum. Father has had
but one headache now in four years,
due to a severe cold. and l have lost
my headaches ana sour stomach,
which am now convinced came from
coffee.
