While visiting friend was served with Postum and I determined to get a package and try it myself. The result was all that could be de- 61red-a delicious, finely favored, rich ly colored beverage. Since I quit cof- rec, Postum has worked wonders for me.
 My husband, who had suffered from kidney trouble when drinking coffee, quit the coffee and took up Postum With me and since drinking Postum he has felt stronger and better, with no mdicatfon of kidney trouble.
