IT’S A MISTAKE.
To Attribute Coffke Ills to Poor
Grades of Coffee.
Many people lay all the blame for
the diseases caused by coffee upon the
poorer grades of coffee but t his is an
error as tlie following proves: “I have
used every kind of the best, grades of
tea and coffee that can be got, from a
first class grocer but never found one
that would not upset my nervous
system and it, was not, until I began to
drink Postum Food Coffee iu the place
of coffee and tea that I had relief from
tlie terrific attacks of nervous Sick
headache from which I hid suffered
for 30 years.
“I had tried all kinds of medicines
but none helped me.
“Soon after 1 stopped drinking cof
fee and began to drink Postum the
headache grew less and it was not
long until I was entirely cured of this
distressing trouble for nowadays I
never drink coffee but stick to Pos
tum.
“As soon as my wife saw what Pos
tum had done for me she gave up
coffee which she had drank all her
life. Ti'liis was six weeks ago and she
is a changed woman for tier nervous
ness had all disappeared, her face has
become smooth and her ciieeks have
a good rosy red color. She sleeps well
too, something she could never do
while she drank coffee. We consider
Postum a household necessity in my
house and have’induced many friends
to try this wounderful food drink in
place of coffee.” Name given by Pos
tum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich.
Look in each package for a copy of
the famous little hook, “The Bond To
Wellville.”
