COFFEE INVALIDS
Causa of Trouble Often Unsuspected.
A confirmed coffee-drinker who found
herself rapidly becoming a chronic invalid
and was puziled as to the cause, consulted
her physician, and under his advice was
cured without the use of drugs. She writes:
"After SO years of coffee drinking I sud
denly found that I was beglnlng to have
trouble with my heart, palpitations and a
smothering sensation, and my occasional
sick headaches were becoming an almost
dally occurrence.
"I did not suspect that coffee had any
thing to do with it, and began to take
medicines, but kept on drinking coffee.
"Finally my heart trouble and head
aches grew so much worse and my nerves
hocame so shattered that any unusual
noise would make me Jump and shake all
over as If I had the ague. Medicines did
not help me and I could not do my house
work satisfactorily, so I asked my physi
cian If coffee was good for me.
"He at once replied 'No, I would not
sdvlse you to use it.' 'Will Postum hurt
mer I asked. 'Not at nil!" was his quirk
response. 'In fact Postum will be bene
ficial.' "The doctor was so emphatic, I bought
some, and had It carefully prepared ac
cording to directions on the box. I found
the new beverage delicious and refresh
ing, and the craving for the old kind of
coffee disappeared, and I grew very fond
of Postum.
"It was but a short time till all my ail
ments were gone. The heart trouble has
vanished and with It has gone the head
aches, my nerves have grown steady and
my head clear. I cun do my work without
distress or fatigue. I hope this will en
courage some sick one to take a step In
the right direction, and rea"h The Road
to Wellvllle' by giving up the old kind of
coffee and using P"tum Food Coffee."
