AN OLD NURSE
Persuaded Doctor to Drink Postum.

An old faithful nurse and an exper-
fenced doctor, are a pretty strong COM
bination in favor of Postum, instead
of tea and coffee.
The doctor said:
Il began to drink Postum five years
ago on the advice of an old nurse.
During an unusually busy winter,
between coffee, tea and overwork, 1
became a victim of insomnia. In a
month after beginning Postum, in
place of tea and coffee, I could eat
anything and sleep as soundly as a
baby.
In three months I had gained twen-
ty pounds in weight. / now use Pos
tum altogether instead Of tea and cof-
fee; even at bedtime with a soda
cracker or some other tasty biscuit.

tes, l used a small quantity of sacchar.
Inc instead of sugar, to sweeten with.
Ismay add that today tea or coffee are
never present in our house and very
many patients, on my advice, have
adopted Postum as their regular bev-
erage.
In conclusion I can assure anyone
that, as a refreshing, nourishing and
nerve-strengthening beverage, there is
nothing equal to Postum
