Coffee's Weight on Old Age.
When people realize tho lnjurloui
effects of coffeo and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they arc
usually glaiL,to lend their testimony
for the benefit of others.
"My mother, since her early child
hood, was an invetcrato coffeo drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained ot
that 'weak all over' feeling and sick
stomach.
"Somo timo ago I was making a
visit to a distant part of tho country
and took dinner with ono of the
merchants of tho place. I notlcod a
somewhat unusual flavour of the 'cof
feo' and asked him concerning It He
replied that it was Postum.
"I was so pleased with it that, after
tho meal was over, I bought a package
to carry homo with me, and had wife
prepare eomo for the next meal. The
whole family were bo well pleased
with It that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
"I had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mother's con
dition, but wo noticed that nftor using
Postum for a short timo, she felt bo
much better than sho did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches wore not bo frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This contlnuod until sho was well and
hearty.
"I know Postum has benefited my.
self and ,tho other members ot the fam
ily, but not in so marked n degree as
In tho case of my mother, aa she was a
victim ot long standing." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum comes In two forms:
Regular Postum must bo well
