COFFEE HURTS
One In Three.

It Is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is a poison to at least one
person out OF every three, but people
are slowly finding 1t out. although
thousands of them suffer terribly be-
fore they discover the fact.
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee | became
restless, nervous and excited, so that l
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of sleep. which got
worse and worse.
"a lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble. and suggested
that | try Postum. / laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted so hard that l finally had
some Postum made. l have been us
ing il in place of coffee ever since, for
I noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation disappeared. be-
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the old
coffee, so what was the use of stick
ing to a beverage that was injuring
me?
"One day on an excursion up the
country l remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear

before she had quit using coffee and
taken to Postum. She had gained a
number of pounds and her former pal

ears, trembling of the hands and legs
and other dsagreeable feelings had
disappeared She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was

already made the change.
"She said her brother had also re-
ceived great benefits from leaving off
coffee and taking on Postum" There's
