A clergymuT of Gresham, Neb., who drank coffee for many years suffered from ohronic insomnia and frrm terrific headaches when he quit coffee. He says: "I have been a very heavy user of ct ffee for bo long and have seen its effects so clearly that there is now nodoubt in my mind concerning its injurious effects up on the nervous system. "While a ccffee user I was unable to sleep for honrs after retiring at night and on the other hand terrific headaches resulted if the regulur heur for drinking coffee Dassed and I did not get it so I was iu a miserable position. "But I found a firm friend in Postum Cereal Coffee and from the very time that I adopted Postum all these evil ef fects vanished. I now enjoy seund sleep and improved appetite and a decidedly clearer complexion and I am convinced that better health and a longer life would be the result of its general use. I Lav a friend who baa been a nseref Postum fer several years and tbe story of her recovery from nearalgia of tbe stomach simply by using Postnm in place of cof' fee seems almost too wonderfnl to be true. Many times she was near death’s door and the dootors had frequently given her case op as hopeless bnt she was entirely healed by leaving off cof fee and nstng Postnm. It is a pleasure to say these good things abont Postnm. Name given by Postnm Co., Battle Creek, Mich. f Won Out Over Team From Three Stores Yester day Afternoon.
