 A Wis couple examined an idea new to them and stepped up several rounds on the health ladder, me husband writes:
 Several years ago we suffered from coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerV- ous, sallow, weak and irritable. My wife and I both loved coffee and thought it was hracer.' (Delusloh) Finally, after years of suffering, we read of Postum and the harmtulness of coffee, and believing that to gro" we should give some attention to new Ideas, we decided to test Postum
 When We made it right we liked 1t and were free of ills caused by coiIoe. Our friends noticed the change-fresher skin, sturdier nerves better temper. etc.
 These changes were not sudden but increased as we continued to drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost the desire for coffee.
 Many of our friends did not Ike Postum at first, because they dld not make it right. But when they made Postum according to directions on pkg, they liked it better than conee and were benefited by the change Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Greek. Mich Read The Road 10 Welfville," in pkgs.
