FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect

No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than
trained nurse.
Speaking Of coffee, nurse in Pa.
writes: Il used to drink strong cof-
fee myself, and suffered greatly from
headaches and indigestion.
while on visit to my brothers I
had good chance to try Postum, for
they drank 1t altogether in place Of
coffee After using Postum two weeks
! found I was much benefited and
finally my headaches disappeared and
also the indigestion.
Naturally have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has
been left off End Postum used.
II observe :. curious fact about
Postum when used by mothers. Il
greatly helps the flow of milk in cases
where coffee is inclined to dry 10
up, and where tea causes nervousness.
Il find trouble in getting servants
to make Postum properly. But when
1t is prepared according to directions
on package and served hot with
cream, it is certainly delicious bev4
erage."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to
MELVILLE" in pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
boiled. $50 and zoe packages.
Instant Postum--is soluble powder.
