thing to do with it.
The drug—caffeine—In coffee, net*

causing Imperfect circulation, too much
In the brain at one time, too little In
another part. This often causes a dull

’’I am nearly 70 years old and did
not know that coffes was the cause of
the stomach and heart trouble I suffer
ed from for many years, unlll about
four years ago,” writes a Kansas wom

’’A kind neighbor Induced me to quit
coffee and try Postum. f had been
suffering severely and was greatly re.
duced In flesh. After using Postum a
little while I found myself Improving;
my heart beats became regular and. now
I seldom ever notice any symptoms of
my old stomach trouble at all. My
nerves are steady and my memory de
cidedly better than while I was using
coffee.
“I like the taste of Postum fully as
well bb coffee. My sister told me two
years ago that she did not like It. but
when I showed her how to make It ac
cording to directions, she thought It
was delicious.
"ft Is best to pour cold water over
your Postum, let it come to a boll, then
