and took dinner with one Of the mer-
chants Of the place. I noticed some
what unusual flavor of the coffee
and asked him concerning 1t. He re-
piled that 1t was Postum.

bought package to carry home with
me. and had wife prepare some for
the next meal. The whole family
liked 1t so well that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.

ing my mothers condition, but we
noticed that after using Postum for
q short time she felt much better, had
little trouble with her heart, and no
sick stomach; that the headaches
were not 80 frequent, and her general
condition much improved. This con-
tinued until she was well and hearty.
