SOAKED IN COFFEE
Until Too Stiff To Bend Over.

when 1 drank coffee I often had sick
headaches. nervousness and biliousness
much of the time; but about two years
ago I went to visit friend and got in
the habit of drinking Postum.
IT have never touched coffee since and
the result has been that / am now en-
tirely well Of all my stomach and nervous
trouble. (Tea contains caffeine, the same
drug found in coffee.)
my mother was just the same way.
We all drink Postum now. and have not
had any coffee in the house for two years
and we all are well.
"A neighbor of mine, a great coffee
drinker was troubled with pains In her
side for years and was an invalid. She
was not able to do her work and could
not even mend clothes or do anything at
all where she would have to bend for
ward. If she tried to do a little hard
work she would get such pains that she
would have to lie down for the rest OF the
day.
II persuaded her at last to stop drink
ing coffee and try Postum, and she did
so, and she has used Postum ever since:
the result has been that she can now do
her work, can sit for q whole day and
mend and can sew on the machine and
she never feels the least bit or pain In her
side In fact, she has got well and II
shows coffee was the cause OF the whole
trouble.
81 could also tell you about several
other neighbors who have been benefited
by quitting coffee and using Postum In its
place" Name given by Postum Co.,

The statement probably tho first Of its
kind ever made from the White House, Is

Maj. Butt was and an expression OF
the hope that he might have the honor
