SECRET WORKER.
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Works.
Conee Is such a secret worker
that 1t is not suspected as the cause
OF sickness or disease, but there is
very sure way TO find out the
truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an in
teresting experience her husband
had with coffee. 1t seems that he
had been using 1t for some time
and was an invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the worm
at-the root Of the tree" and or
dered 1t discontinued with instruc-
tions to use Postum regularly in its
place.
The wife says: I'VE found that
was the true remedy for his stom-
ach and heart trouble and we would
nave gladly paid n hundred times
the. amount of the doctors charge
when we found how wise his judg-
ment was
The use OF Postum instead OF cof-
Zee was begun about year ago,
and 1t has MADE my husband
strong. well man. He has gained
thirty-five pounds In that time and
his stomach and heart trouble have
all disappeared
we never tire OF telling our
friends OF the benefit we have re-
ceived from leaving Off coffee and
using Postum in its place" Name
given by Postum Co. Battle Creek.
