EXPERIMENTS
Teach Things Of Value.

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum, it is still easy TO
learn something about it by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
out OF coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says.
My wife was a victim of nervous.
ness, weak stomach and loss Of ap-
petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief, one of which was a change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose
1--we knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all OF
her troubles had disappeared as if by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou-
Bile relieved, appetite improved and,
above all, a nights rest was complete
and refreshing
This sounds like an exaggeration,
as 1t all happened so quickly. Each
day there was improvement, for the
Postum was undoubtedly strengthen
ing her. Every particle of this good
work is due to drinking Postum in
place of coffee Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal-the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pkgs.
Instant Postum-a soluble powder
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa
ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes
a delicious beverage instantly. 3oc
and soc tins.
Both forms are equally delicious
and cost about the same per cup.
There's a Reason" for Postum.
