STICK TO IT
Ur.til Ccffee Hits You Hard.
It is about as well to advise people to

enough, so that they will never forget

the terrible price paid for the weakest
kind of a "mess of pottage."
A woman writes and her letter is condensed
to give the facts in a short
space:
"I was a coffee slave and stuck to u like
a toper to his 'cups,' notwithstanding I
had headaches every day, and frequently
severe attacks of sick headaches, then 1
used more coffee to relieve the headaches,
and this was well enough until the coffee
efTect wore off, then I would have sick
spells. .
"F'inally my digestion was ruineu,
severe attacks of rheumatism began to
appear, and ultimately the whole nervous
system began to break down and I
was fast becoming a wreck.
"After a time I was induced to quit
coffee and take ud Postum. This was half
a year ago. The result has been most
satisfactory.
"The rheumatism Is gone entirely,
blood is pure, nerves practically well and
steady, digestion almost perfect, never
have any more sick headaches and am
gaining steadily in weight and strength."
