In other words drying it up," says a young lady of Shclton, Neb., "and so long as 1 used the drug, coffee, I had terrific headaches frequently accompanied by eour stomach and a very bad breath. "My condition was serious and I knew something had to be done, so 1 decided to quite coffee and drink Postum. "A few days afler I quit drinking coffee and shifted to Postum I felt much better and continued to improve on the Postum until I am now entirely free from headaches, and stomach trouble, and steadily gaining in flesh and health, and feel happy and full of rich, pure blood. "My parents were ailing as long as they were coffee drinkers. They were certainly great coffee trends and clalmcd that they could not get coffee strung enough for them, and my father in particu lar was a regular slavo to coffee, drinking many cups of It dally although he had terrific headaches about once a week, while my mother complained of her liver and took different liver remedies, but all to no avail. "Then I persuaded them to quit coffee and drink Postum Food Coffee and the result was all that 1 had hoped for, and both are now hearty eater* and are strong and well. 1 know of many other cases where leaving off coffee and driklng Postum has resulted In wonderful changes in health."
