be persuaded that II was coffee that
hurt me. Finally l decided to leave II

The first morning ! left of coffee

I must have something to take the
place OF coffee" (The headache was
caused by the reaction of the coffee
drug-careine.)
Having heard OF Postum through .
friend who used It. l bought a package
and tried II. l did not like It at first
but after I learned how to make II
right, according to directions on pkg,
l would not change back to coffee for
anything.
When l began to use Postum l
weighed only III lbs. Now ! weigh
