EXPERIMENTS
Teach Things OF Value.

Where n has never made the ey-
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, 1t was all to no purpose.
I'VE knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take It's place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all OF
her troubles had disappeared as il by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach tr0u.
bio 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 vas undoubtedly strengthen
ing her. Every particle Of this good
work is due to drinking Postum in
place OF coffee" Name given by Pos
