FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear Of Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit, and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
II told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give 1t up.
1T was a struggle, because Of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try 1t
and then it was easy to leave or
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last
he was a new man altogether, as a re-
suit of leaving off coffee and taking up
Postum. Then began to drink it too.

Egg eating is habit that starts
With hens, generally, that are out of

hen gets too fat and also when there
