SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid Of "coffee Habit"

The injurious action Of coffee on the
hearts of many persons Is well known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine.
This is the drug found by chemists in
coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
Tee, as that was the principal cause Of
the trouble. She writes:
MY heart was SO weak It could not
do Its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and 1t would seem that
I would never breathe again.
The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said I must stop 1t, but 1t seemed l
could not give 1t up until l was down
In bed with nervous prostration.
"For eleven weeks I lay there and
suffered. Finally husband brought
home some Postum and I quit coffee
and started new and right Slowly I
got well. Now do not have any head
aches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know It is Postum that
helped me. Tho Dr.. said tho other
day: I never thought you would be

pounds and now I weigh 1853.
