WAY
Coffee Troubles,
“Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi--
tion that he was compelled to give
up a good position that he had held
for years, He was too sick to work.
His skin was yellow, and I hardly
think there was an organ in his body
that was not affected.
“I told him I felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee, and after some dis-
cussion he decided to give it up.
“It was a struggle, because of the
powerful habit. - One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it,
and then it was easy to leave off cof-
fee
‘‘His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at
last he was a new man altogether, as
a result of leaving off coffee and tak-
ing up Postum. Then I began to
drink it, too.
‘Although I was never as had off
as my husband, I was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 95 1bs. before
I began to use Postum. Now I weigh ©
115 1bs. and can do as much work as
any one my size, I think.
“Many do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make it right. I have successfully,
fooled a great many persons who
have drunk it at my table. They,
would remark, ‘You must buy a high
grade of coffee.” One young man
who clerked in a grocery store was
very enthusiastic about my. ‘coffee.’
When I told him what it was he said,
"Why, I've sold Postum for four years
but I had no idea it was like this.
Think I'll drink Postum hereafter.’ ”
