"Three years ago” says this lady, "I was advised to drink Pee tom and give np coffee of which I was very fond. To say that I am thankfnl now for having done this is potting it very mildly for a9 soon os I made the shift from coffee to Postnm my leg be gan to heal and in a few weeks was quite well. I has never troubled me eh.es and I think it marvelous. Neither have suffered from tbe bilious headaohes which used to afflict me. I oan give yon the names of many of my friends who Ore as firm friends of Postnm as I. Name given by Postnm Co., Battle Creek, Mioh. This is a case where Postnm made red blood in a hurry. This lady thought it marvelous because her trouble of years standing was cored in a few weeks through giving np coffee and nsing Postnm in its puce. Nothing marvelons about it, only the simplest scientific reasons that it will pay anyone to look into. Good healthy ted blood will core most any disease. Ooffee in many people, de stroys the red oorpnsoles and produces white or watery blood. A definite change is made by leaving off coffee en tirely and uiing Postnm. Yon oan piOTO this by trial.
