NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerV'
Gus, sallow, weak and irritable. MY
wife and / both loved coffee and
thought it was bracer." Delusion)
Finally, after years Of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
When we made it right we liked
It and were free of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-fresher skin, sturdler nerves,
better temper etc.
THESE changes were Hot suuuen'
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of cur friends did not Ike
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked it better than cofree
and we're benefited by the change.
