LEARNING THINGS

When simple change of diet brings

briefly told. a lady of Springfield, H.,
says:
After being afflicted for years with
nervousness and heart trouble, | re-
ceived shock four years ago that left
me in such a condition that my life
was despaired Of.
Il got no relief from doctors nor
from the numberless heart and nerve
remedies tried, because didn't know
that coffee was daily putting me back
more than the doctors could put me
ahead.
Finally at the suggestion Of friend
l left off coffee and began the use OF
Postum, and against my expectations l
gradually improved in health until for
the past 6 or 8 months l have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, Weakening
spells OF heart trouble.
MY troubles all came from the use
Of coffee which l had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when l quit coffee and took up the use
Of Postum" Name given by Postum
Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects OF
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum,
but there is nothing marvellous about
it-ouly common sense.
Coffee is a destroyer-Postum is a
rebuiIder. That's the reason.
