man who found the reason says Formerly I was a slave to coffee I was like a morphine fiend could not sleep at night would roll and toss in my bed and when I did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams and hobgob blins would wake up with headaches and feci bad all day so nervous I could not attend to business My writing looked like bird tracks I had sour belchings from the stomach in digestion heartburn and palpitation of the heart constipation irregularity of the kidneys etc Indeed I began to feel I had all the troubles that human fiesh could suffer but when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as if he had insulted me I could not bear the idea it had such a hold on me and I refused to believe it the cause But it turned out that no advice was ever given at a more needed

write a fair hand as you can see can attend to business again and rejoice that I am free from the monster Coffee Name given by Postum Co Battle Creek Mich Ten days trial of Postum in place of coffee will bring sound restful re freshing sleep Theres a reason Look in each pkg for tho famous little book The Road to Wellvillew wgitftWgiMaaaartwiaaBwi NEBRASKA STATE NEWS BURGLARS VISIT CARROLL
