ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out2

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease"-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago was great cof'
fee drinker and from its use / be-
came SO nervous could scarcely
sleep at all nights. My condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
stefan l consulted declared my troor
bles were due to coffee.
But being so welded to the bev-
erage l did not see how l could do
without it, especially at breakfast.
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
"On a visit, my friends deprived mo
OF coffee to prove that It was harm
full At the end of about eight days
I was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so went back
20 the old habit as soon as I got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck Of me.
II heard Of Postum and decided to
try 1t. / did not like It at first, be.
cause. as afterwards discovered. It
was not made properly. I found. how
ever. that when made after directions
on the package, 1t was delicious. :
1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves. and none OF the bad effects
that coffee had, 50 bade farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account OF
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own e1-
| perience.'

Postum now comes IN two forms:
Regular Postum-must be wen
boiled.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow

in a cup Of hot water and, with cream
