EXPERIMENTS
Learn Things of Value
Where one has never made the ex
periment of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum it Is still easy to
learn all about it by reading the ex
periences of others
Drinking Postum is a pleasant
way to get back to health A man of
Lancaster Pa says My wife was
a victim of nervousness and weak
stomach and loss of apetite for years
and was a physical wreck although
we resorted to numerous methods of
relief one of which was a change
from coffee to tea it was all to no
purpose
We knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place and cure the diseases
until we tried Postum Food Coffee
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 nights rest was com
plete and refreshing
This sounds like an exaggeration
as it all happened so quickly but we
are prepared to prove it Each day
there Is improvement for the better
for the Postum is undoubtedly
strengthening her and giving her rich
red blood and renewed life and vital
ity Every particle of this good work
is due to Postum and to drinking Pos
tum in place of coffee Name given
by Postum Co Battle Creek Mich
Ice coid Postum with a dash of
lemon is a delightful cooler for
warm days
