DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum be-
cause coffee disagreed with her and
her husband. Tea is Just as harm
full as coffee because It contains caf-
feine-the same drug found in cof-
fee. She writes:
MY husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder. and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful SO l could not attend to
my housework-botho of us using cof-
fee all the time and not realizing 1t

"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
took it home rather dubious what my
husband would say-he was fond of
coffee.
But took coffee right off the table
and we haven't used cup of 1t since.
You should have seen the change in
us, and now my husband never COM
plains of heart palpitation any more.
My stomach trouble went away in two
weeks after began Postum. My chill

which can't be said of coffee
"A lady visited us who was usually
half sick. l told her I'd make her
cup of Postum. She said 1t was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make

and when done, she said it was splen-

engineer. Dawson rented a little mo-
tor boat, got permission to tie 1t Up
beside the fifty-footer in the young
mans charge, and began to overhaul
his engine, as il preparing for cruise
This gave him an opportunity to bor-
row wrenches and oils from the larg-
er boat. to buy drinks end cigars to
pay for the favors, and so to strike
up close acquaintance with the man
he was after.
Had that young man been strictly
temperate it is doubtful il the Brun-
dage Novelty Company case ever would
have become credit to the Burns
Agency. Dawson piled him steadily
with liquid refreshment in the saloons
