JUST ONE DAY 1
Free From the Slugger Brought Out I
a Fact.
; . , "During the time I was a coffee
. . "
. r drinker , " says an Iowa woman , "I was
nervous , had spells with my heart
smothering spells , headache , stom-
ach trouble , liver and kidney trouble.
I did not know for years what made
- me have those slells. . I would frequently -
Quently sink away'as though my last
hour had come.
- "For 27 years I suffered thus and
. used bottles of medicine enough to set
up a drug store-capsules and pills
' and everything I heard of. Spent
: lots of money but 'I was sick nearly
, i , " all the time. Sometimes I was so
: , I" " " . ' nervous 1 could not hold a plate In
. my hands ! and other times I thought
I would surely die sitting at the table.
I "This went on until about two years
ago when one , day I did not use any
coffee and 1 noticed I was not so nerv-
l ous and told my husband about It.
. He had been telling me that It might
' ' ' ' be the coffee but I said 'No , I have
been drinking coffee all my life and
It cannot be. ' But after thl8' 'I thought
I would try and do without and drink
hot water. I did this for several days.
but got tired of the hot water and
. . went to drinking coffee and as soon
. . as I began coffee again I was nervous
'
" again. This proved that It was the
' , ' . coffee that caused my troubles.
