ings in my head and then a blindness
would come over my eyes SO would
have to sit down. l would get so nerv-
GUS could hardly control my feelings.
Finally / spoke to our family physi-
clan about it and he asked if l drank
much coffee and mother told him that
l did. He told me to Immediately stop
drinking coffee and drink Postum in
its place, as he and his family had
used Postum and found it a powerful
rebuilder and delicious food-drink-
81 hesitated for time, disliking the
idea of having to give up my coffee, but
finally l got a package and found it to
be all the doctor said.
"Since drinking Postum in place OF
coffee my dizziness, blindness and
nervousness are all gone. my bowels
are regular and am well and strong.
That is a short statement of what
Postum has done for me-"
