In two weeks’ time after we quit cof fee and used Postum almost all of her troubles had disappeared as if by magic. It was truly wonderful. Her nervousness was all gone, stomach trouble relieved, appetite improved and above all a night's rest was com plete and refreshing. “This sounds like an exaggeration^ as it all happened so quickly, but we w are prepared to prove it.
