If the change to this pure food-drink brings steadier nerves, sounder sleep,
a clearer head, and the better health that follows freedom from the coffee drug,
you'll know where comfort lies—whether to stick to Postum or go back to
coffee and its troubles.

A NON-ALCOHOLIC TONIC
Debility is a loss of vitality, not affect
ing any one part of the body particularly
but the system generally. It is dangerous
because it reduces the body's resistance
to disease.
When debility follows acute diseases,
convalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An attack
of the grip often results in debility that
persists for months. Everybody recog
nizes that tbe remedy for debility is to
build up the blood because the blood
Roes to every part of the body and an im
provement in its condition is quickly
fait throughout the system. The prob
lem in every case is to find something
that will enrich the blood.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pillssuitmostpeo
ple's need because they are non-alcoholic
and they really build up the blood and
strengthen the nerves. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are useful for growing children
and for men and women whose nervous
energy has been overdrawn. They are
certainly worthy of a trial in every case
of weak nerves and thin blood.

The Draft
Is The Thing
The draft in your furnace has a tremendous bear
ing on the kind of coal that should be used.
Some houses have too little draft others too
much.
The strength of the draft is influenced by tfje size
and length of the chimney, the location of the house
and whether built single, in pairs or one of a row.
The draft in the furnace of your neighbor may be
stronger than in yours.
Because he burns a certain kind and size of coal
is no reason why you should use the same.
We have made a study of heating conditions and
shall be pleased to advise you.
