Below we quote an article from the Dairy Record which illustrates the affection that the Western dairymen bave Prof. T. L., Haecker, and the information given {s of especial im- portance, “At the short course for dalrsmen held last week at the Minnesota Dalry School, Prof. T. 1..

He replied that it was Postum. “1 was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, { bought a pack- age to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with it, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely, “1 had really been at times very | anxious concerning my mother's con- | dition, but we noticed that after us- ing Postum for a short time, she felt #0 much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much im- proved. This continued until ghe was as well and hearty as the rest of us, “I know Postuin has benefited my- seit and the other members of the fam!ly, but not in so marked a degree as in the case of mother, as she was a victim of standing.” Read “The Road to Wellville,” In pkgs. “There's a Reason.” ; Ever read the above letter?
